Research on Sustainable Biomorphic Design in the Anthropocene

This study explores the aesthetic principles and sustainability of biomorphic design in the Anthropocene and through this, explores the role and potential of biomorphic design in promoting ecosystem resilience. Biomorphic design is emerging as an innovative approach that seeks ecological sustainability and efficiency by imitating the organic forms and principles of nature. Through analysis of various cases in art, design, architecture, and fashion, it verifies that biomorphic design achieves high sustainability in material selection, production process, energy efficiency, and resource circulation. In particular, it argues that it enables harmonious integration with the environment, minimizes ecosystem disturbance, and contributes to strengthening emotional connections with users. The results of the study confirm that biomorphic design presents a new environment where the physical environment and human multisensory experiences coexist, and has potential as a solution to the environmental crisis of the Anthropocene. It goes beyond simple morphological imitation and establishes itself as a methodology that can realize sustainability and ecosystem resilience, and emphasizes that its potential can be further developed through interdisciplinary convergence research.

Abstract

This study explores the aesthetic principles and sustainability of biomorphic design in the Anthropocene and through this, explores the role and potential of biomorphic design in promoting ecosystem resilience. Biomorphic design is emerging as an innovative approach that seeks ecological sustainability and efficiency by imitating the organic forms and principles of nature. Through analysis of various cases in art, design, architecture, and fashion, it verifies that biomorphic design achieves high sustainability in material selection, production process, energy efficiency, and resource circulation. In particular, it argues that it enables harmonious integration with the environment, minimizes ecosystem disturbance, and contributes to strengthening emotional connections with users. The results of the study confirm that biomorphic design presents a new environment where the physical environment and human multisensory experiences coexist, and has potential as a solution to the environmental crisis of the Anthropocene. It goes beyond simple morphological imitation and establishes itself as a methodology that can realize sustainability and ecosystem resilience, and emphasizes that its potential can be further developed through interdisciplinary convergence research.
