"In order to achieve greater stability and structural efficiency, engineers use nature as an inspiration for their design. Considering the level of sustainability in biological systems, they analyze their structural behavior, browse for compatible analogies with technical systems, abstract the observed physical and mechanical principles, and implement these principles into the final product. This process defines the bionic design approach. The term “bionics” refers to the scientific discipline that addresses the transfer of properties from biology to technology." - Ismail Hmidet, Bionic Design: Architectural Innovations Inspired by Nature, 2020.
