Architectural design has always seen nature as a source of inspiration and knowledge for drawing ideas. Many forms, shapes and mechanisms that can be found in various plants, animals and living species have been the inspiration in designing projects with impressive features at a morphological and functional level. This thesis aims at studying the relation between nature and architecture, as well as finding the ways and strategies in which nature’s elements are transferred to an architectural design. Thus, it is attempted to explore and also separate the architectural approaches that make this transfer, with particular emphasis on the clarification of their definitions, their basic conceptual principles and the differences between them.
