Abstract

Simulation of nature is one of the modern design strategies for sustainable, that make use of the solutions found in nature, to address design problems of various kinds in various fields. The forms, processes and systems of living organisms can be used to apply them in the built environment to reach sustainable solutions. And discovering solutions inspired by nature And how to apply them in the fields of architecture and internal architecture. Through a new science as a science of nature simulation, which depends on the
intersection of various areas of design, architecture, urban design, engineering and designs, with basic sciences such as biology, chemistry and mathematics, to benefit from solutions in nature and applied , To solve realistic design problems and to deepen sustainable thought in the urban environment by exploring areas of cooperation, exchange of science and experience inspired by nature simulation, and learning from its balanced genius and its aesthetics created by the Creator.
The science of biomimetics is an inexhaustible resource for the bio-simulation of new energies in order to reach future technology that can be used in architecture and interior architecture. As we know, the capabilities of nature are superior in many areas to human capabilities [8]. Biological science is the science of application that draws inspiration to solve human problems by studying natural designs, systems and processes. Nature is the source of systems, materials, processes, structures and aesthetics, through which appropriate design solutions can be extracted for some problems in a timely fashion and new trends can be explored for our built environments
The problem of research on the possibility of using the Biomimicry approach as a tool and strategy for sustainability was studied while studying its applications in the areas of design and architecture. Its importance comes from the role of simulating living natural systems in terms of form, composition, originality and ecosystems as one way of achieving sustainability. With the aim of achieving the concept of sustainability through the trend of simulation of nature as a tool to develop and modernize and to reach an innovative design thought to achieve a balanced and sustainable environment through the descriptive analytical approach to study nature as a tool and strategy to achieve sustainability in architecture and internal architecture by finding solutions to design problems by simulating the natural world . To reach some results that confirm the effectiveness of simulation of natural systems with the possibility of combining nature and technology and explore their potential in developing a more sustainable structure.
