Sustainable Design: An Approach from the Perspective of Ecology, Energy Efficiency and Biomimicry

This study examines the theoretical and conceptual foundations of sustainability, ecology, energy efficient design and biomimicry in the fields of art, design and architecture. In the face of global environmental problems, the adoption of asustainable design approach has become inevitable. Problems such as depletion of natural resources, increase in carbon emissions and environmental degradation necessitate the development of new approaches in design and architecture disciplines. The main problem of the study is that although the principles of sustainability are accepted in theory, they arenot sufficiently applied in practice. In this context, it may be possible to develop more environmentally friendly and energy efficient design strategies by integrating biomimicry and ecological design principles. The hypothesis of the study suggests that the systematic incorporation of biomimicry and ecological principles into design and architecture processes will create sustainable and resilient buildings. As a methodology, a comprehensive literature review on sustainable design, biomimicry and ecological architecture is conducted, and the effectiveness of sustainable practices is evaluated through interviews and surveys with experts in the field of art, design and architecture. In addition, sustainable projects around the world are comparatively analyzed. This study aims to contribute to the development of more environmentally friendly and energy efficient approaches in the fields of art, design and architecture by demonstrating how sustainable design can bridge the gap between theory and practice.
