... The architecture components that inspired from nature are; the type of materials including programmable, bio-reactor, and mechanical materials; the elements of building behavior, including structure, materials, interior elements, building systems, and building envelopes. Additionally, building behavior targets, including efficient materials, efficient structures, indoor air quality, energy efficiency, water efficiency, air quality, visual comfort, and thermal comfort [12], with acoustic comfort as one of the proper design considerations for efficient structure design [13,14]. The use of nature-inspired materials in bio-engineering and architectural design was inspired by these biological materials that were difficult to harvest in bulk, and toxic in their direct applications, such as hair, bone, and nacre. ...
Nature is the major source and basis for architectural design. It is beyond human ability to create the same unlimited changes and dimensions. One of the key actors in minimizing negative impacts on nature and the environment is the architect. Due to the different uses of nature in architectural design and the interdisciplinarity between the approaches and aspects of nature, this study aimed to explore the contributions of nature-based strategies to the architectural design domain and identify the comprehensive relationship between nature and architecture. Through using logical argument, the nature-based strategies of architectural design were classified according to four categories of architectural design principles in a predicted model. For testing and validating the model, one strategy, which included nine nature-based approaches of architectural design with 23 aspects, was evaluated, and the scopes of the approaches were identified. VOSviewer was used for data analysis, and the survey questionnaire method was used for the focus group of architects to evaluate Erbil City’s architectural design. In this survey, 328 responses were received, which were ranked using the four-point Likert scale (most of the time, some of the time, seldom, and never), and the t-test from SPSS software was used to compare the approaches of the selected nature-based strategy. The passive design was the only approach with a positive value from the t-test (3.805) with a p-value of 0.000. Among these 23 evaluated aspects, natural ventilation received the highest mean value (1.91).

The search for the structural form of reticulated roofs is significant in interdisciplinary
Architectural Design optimisation. Combining parametric design with structural logic influences the visual perception of the shape by choosing the most suitable technical solutions. Therefore, the divisions of reticulated structures should be determined to pursue structural, material and fabrication advancement. Structural divisions of free-formed canopies should simultaneously be solved in architectural and structural design at an early stage. Choosing a proper design becomes a complicated process, requiring the ability to select a type of production and rationalise technical solutions mainly due to the computer-aided design supported by algorithmic tools. Based on searching for optimal geometrical divisions, the case study investigates the differences between
planar quadrilateral and triangular mesh penalisation. The study concludes the assets and flaws of both geometry shaping methods of reticulated structures based on minimal weight and fabrication aspects. The study concludes that implementing the manufacturing method of the chosen type of gridshells divisions into the architectural design optimisation enhances the resulting free-form structures at the early design stage.
Dubai Expo 2020 provides an international platform for advancing innovation through meticulously curated exhibits with themes such as sustainability and cultural exchange displayed in pavilions dedicated to individual countries. This research study uses biophilic or biomimetic design strategies to assess the sustainability practices employed in a group of pavilions at the Dubai Expo 2020 that employ biophilic and/or biomimetic design strategies. Biophilic philosophy emphasizes nature-based concepts to foster positive relationships between humans and living organisms, whereas biomimicry imitates natural processes/systems for building practices. Incorporating biophilic and/or biomimetic techniques into pavilion design provides visitors with a one-of-a-kind experience while displaying explicit sustainability principles that go beyond the event's existing architectural framework guidelines. The research evaluation process includes architectural structure designs, materials used during production/creation periods, energy efficiency measurements implemented, and sustainable water management plans based on natural ecological systems. It will also evaluate the adherence of each pavilion chosen to genuine sustainability values by analyzing the incorporation of nature-based concepts into its overall design for potential future reference applications. These techniques have significant potential to improve human health, reduce environmental impact, and encourage global resiliency when implemented beyond Dubai Expo 2020. In conclusion, the research aims to inspire sustainable designs well beyond the Dubai Expo 2020 by demonstrating how biophilic or biomimetic practices are crucial facilitators in constructing spaces that maximize human welfare without endangering the environment. It is also a foundational resource for architects and urban planners committed to advancing sustainable architectural practices through future development projects prioritizing human welfare and environmental protection.
