Human beings have a long history of bionic creation,experiencing from primary level to advanced level, from simplefunction bionic creation to complex intelligent bionic creation. Inthe long-term process of adjusting to nature, man has not onlygained endless resources, but also infinite wisdom of creation.Bionic pattern design (generally referred to as bionic design) is anextension of biomimetic science and technology in the art design.Bionic design is inspired by the rich natural biomorphic shapes andpatterns and created with human wisdom, thus producing art worksand designs which are so appealing and successful that they aregiven the name “second nature”. Since human society entered theera of scientific and technological revolution, with the rapiddevelopment of bionic, modern bionic design came into being.Modern bionic design, which is different from traditional bioniccreation, lays great emphasis on the use of achievements fromscientific research, scientific methods and technology. Combiningmodern science and technology with contemporary art andaesthetic principle, modern bionic design shows greater advantagesin variety, quality and approaches of expression. It representsrevolution and innovation of the artistic world and has hadpotential influence on people’s thought and life.The essay has made a brief review of the history of the bioniccreation and bionic design, presenting a clear path of itsdevelopment. The author also introduces a number of leadingschools of bionic design and makes analysis, generalization andsummaries, and refines the current individual, specific bionicdesign activities. Through in-depth research, the author intends toobtain from the theoretical level the principle of the bionic design and to master the universal law of the bionic design. In order tocarry out more targeted research, the essay has categorized theexamples in buildings, products and clothing and givesinterpretation for each category. Through the analysis of leadingdesigners and typical bionic designs, the author attempts to makeobservation, interpretation and conclusion about methodology ofbionic design. At the same time, the value and significance ofcontemporary bionic design should be recognized in terms of theconversion from the originally traditional form to the arts ofhumanity and its symbolic, aesthetic and emotional expression.Bionic design, as an important contemporary design methodin the field of design, originally came from people’s psychologicaland spiritual needs. It is the inevitable regression of humanity androoted in human nature. It can arouse people’s natural feelings andpassion for poetic homesickness. Against the post-modern culturallandscape it reflects a profound background. The author suggeststhat we should advocate bionic design to return to its origin, tore-examine the relationship between man and nature, man anddesign and design and society. We should re-consider thesignificance of artifact creation and existing moral principles sothat a more reasonable and healthy way of life will be formed inthe age of the new technology and in the practice of “Dao followsnature”.
