Plants Inspired Biomimetics Architecture in Modern Buildings: A Review of Form, Function and Energy.

Biomimicry architecture provides innovative solutions to contemporary environmental challenges by drawing inspiration from nature's strategies to enhance sustainability and energy efficiency in the built environment. Plants, with their remarkable ability to adapt to changes in light, temperature, and humidity, serve as a central model for biomimetic design due to their potential to optimize energy use and improve building performance. By leveraging these natural principles, biomimetic architecture can significantly reduce carbon emissions and create eco-friendly structures that respond dynamically to environmental conditions.

Enhancing indoor air quality: Harnessing architectural elements, natural ventilation and passive design strategies for effective pollution reduction - A comprehensive review.

Air pollution poses a critical global challenge with severe environmental and human health implications. The associated health risks, including premature mortality, underscore the urgency of effective mitigation strategies. Many studies focus on control strategies without considering specific contaminant types, and there is a notable gap in research on cost-effective, eco-friendly methods, especially in countries facing substantial air pollution challenges.
