Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue for various reasons. In many sectors, measures are planned in this regard. The ever-developing construction industry is among these areas. The recent energy crisis and the everincreasing energy consumption show that energy efficiency is one of the parameters to be considered in this regard. Technological applications on this subject offer different approaches to the subject. Technology is effective at almost every stage of the construction process. However, the technology element, which is effective on the building structure and the facade, is not taken into account sufficiently in the interior. For this reason, the relationship between energy efficiency and technology in indoor spaces has been determined as the main study subject of the research. In the research, it is assumed that technology can play an active role in energy efficiency, apart from the systems commonly used indoors.Another assumption of the research is that technology, which is among the causes of high energy consumption, can also be used as a means of providing energy efficiency. Research hypotheses were tested by analyzing current technological applications. It is aimed to develop a different interpretation of the subject and to determine the roles of technology in this subject. As a result of the research, it has been determined that technology offers innovative alternatives to energyefficient indoor applications, creates an energy-generating interior concept by going beyond energy-efficient interior applications, and that these applications have the potential to develop.
With the emergence of life, human beings have had a direct relationship with architecture. While the bond between architecture and human beings in primitive times was provided with nature; Today, with the development of technology, a variable established as a result of the intersection of different parameters has evolved into a relationship. In this context, designers and architects who set up the variable architectural role, lead to innovations and add different ideas and perspectives to their design approaches. Nowadays, this differentiation is realized with the search for new, complex and multiple ideas, while the way of reflection on architectural products indicates an innovation that encompasses the whole process such as material, technique, production and form. It is seen that the two basic building blocks of innovation are nature and technology. Mankind has always been inspired by nature, but in today's new design approaches, nature is not only a formal emulation, but also is aimed at reaching and using data for understanding, learning, improving and developing nature with the possibilities brought by technology. In today's design approaches, the intersection of technology and nature is an important issue. Neri Oxman is one of the designers / architects who make research with the idea of being a source for future studies in a multidisciplinary environment at different scales. In this article, it is aimed to discuss the design approach (Bio Computing) through form, biology and technology by examining the designs produced by Neri Oxman's research group at the intersection of nature and technology. With the document analysis, which is a qualitative research method, Neri Oxman's design research products and the architectural products produced by the intersection of biology and technology produced after 2007 were discussed. It is seen that the material, technique, production and form processes of the works produced by biological data and digital tools progress together. In this context, Neri Oxman's design thinking and productions provide an innovative perspective for the future in the fields of design and architecture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
