In order to use and mimic natural forms, bionic designers use two methods: 1. The designer revisited the structure. New designs are created and applied by considering internal and external relationships with structures, proportions of parts and wholes and patterns of movement in nature. 2. Designers aim to mimic the appearance of natural forms. In this case, the building is a reflection of the beauty of nature and its surroundings.
