Study On Shape Generation And Spatial Characteristics In Bionic-structure Architecture

With the help of the viewpoints and methods used in other areas, Bionic architecture has been getting expansion in both of theory and practice. As one of the important branch, Bionic structure researches the structure of different levels based on the natural prototype and mechanical principles, gaining inspiration and then using bionic simulation on the engineering structures of the external form and internal mechanism to enhance efficiency. This kind of Bionic-structure architecture not only has an economic and efficient structure, but also creates a novel architectural form and space.This paper firstly discusses the historical relationship between the architectural design and Bionics as well as its development. Through reviewing the development process of bionic architecture at home and abroad for decades, contacting the relevant biological, mechanical, aesthetic, psychology and other disciplines'theories, theoretical background and Construction System of Building Structure bionic is organized clearly. After theoretical background, the paper mainly aims to study from both horizontal and vertical directions: the former analyzes the similarity between bionic-structure and natural-structure, and the common geometric rules behind the similarity, then briefly demonstrate the mechanical logic of bionic-structure; the latter focuses on analyzing the space characteristics of Bionic-structure architecture, and analyzes according to the following order: morphological characteristics, building models, psychological experience and applicability. During analysis, I see the new trends and problems of nowadays bionic-structure, so discussion about some more prominent points is given in the latter part of the article. In order to have a deep discussion and better prove my view, a large number of works at home and abroad are inserted.The discussion of Bionic architecture gets more concern recent. However, the practice relatively gets a far more success than the theoretical in the branch of structure-bionics. We can see the trace of structure-bionics in large amount of bionic-architecture works at home and abroad, but the relevant theoretical research is limited to individual cases. That's why this paper focuses on this aspect. It aims to make a comprehensive analysis and try to find out the logical relation, which can better help to understanding and application the function of building structures-bionic.
