“…The engineering design theory, Biomimicry 3.8 Institute, and biology literature point to the categories of system, process, function, form, and architecture. Books that survey innovations related to bio-inspired design [2, [51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60] not only reinforce these categories, but also point to the categories of surface and material. Biological inspiration from structures, geometries, forms, surfaces, and chemical substances were the most common in the reviewed books.…”

Biological systems have evolved over billions of years and cope with changing conditions through the adaptation of morphology, physiology, or behavior. Learning from these adaptations can inspire engineering innovation. Several bio-inspired design tools and methods prescribe the use of analogies, but lack details for the identification and application of promising analogies. Further, inexperienced designers tend to have a more difficult time recognizing or creating analogies from biological systems. This paper reviews biomimicry literature to establish analogy categories as a tool for knowledge transfer between biology and engineering to aid bio-inspired design that addresses the common issues. Two studies were performed with the analogy categories. A study of commercialized products verifies the set of categories, while a controlled design study demonstrates the utility of the categories. The results of both studies offer valuable information and insights into the complexity of analogical reasoning and transfer, as well as what leads to biological inspiration versus imitation. The influence on bio-inspired design pedagogy is also discussed. The breadth of the analogy categories is sufficient to capture the knowledge transferred from biology to engineering for bio-inspired design. The analogy categories are a design method independent tool and are applicable for professional product design, research, and teaching purposes.

“…Les progrès techniques d'observation à très petite échelle permettent aujourd'hui d'avoir une connaissance plus approfondie du fonctionnement de la nature et offrent une source de connaissance et d'inspiration nouvelle pour l'architecture (Gruber, 2011 ;Mazzoleni, 2013). Certes, les architectes se sont toujours inspirés de la nature, c'est encore le cas aujourd'hui et ça le sera sans doute dans le futur, mais il faut distinguer une bioinspiration principalement formelle à visée esthétique ou symbolique (Brayer et Migayrou, 2013) d'une bio-inspiration dont l'objectif est la durabilité.…”

“…Em arquitetura é importante a adequação desses princípios visando criação de métodos mais responsáveis de projeto. Segundo Gruber (2011); biomimética na arquitetura, não implica apenas em biomorfismo. A mera transferência da forma é insuficiente para trazer qualidades à construção.…”
