Abstract

In the past, humans used nature as building inspiration. The inspiration of nature is translated into buildings through a trial and error process that is practically in the field to find the ideal shape that suits the natural conditions. Currently, the use of natural inspiration as an idea for the form of biomimicry architectural buildings is increasingly facilitated by increasingly sophisticated technological developments. One of the technologies currently used by biomimicry architects in designing is using computational equipment. Architects use computing equipment in the form of digital technology to facilitate the translation of design ideas, one of which is related to the translation of natural inspiration into the form of buildings. The aim of this paper is to formulate the level of flexibility in the use of various computing tools in creating natural-inspired building forms. The method used is literature review. So the results of this study are expected to help designers consider who will use digital technology tools to assist the form modelling process in designing buildings with biomimicry architecture.
