Nature provides us with design models that can help us solve engineering or architectural problems. Once again, the inspiration it provides us with is highly effective. These are common design models such as:
– Fractals: These repetitive structures found in trees or in the circulatory system of developed organisms optimize resource efficiency for the use of nutrients and oxygen. Fractal models are used in the design of receiving antennas or for urban traffic reorganization models (in Rome, for example).
– Spirals: Common in galaxies, hurricanes, DNA, and shells, they are currently used in the design of wind turbines and robotic modules.
– Hexagons: Found in honeycombs, insect eyes, and turtle shells, the hexagonal design provides robust structures with efficient use of space. They are used in the design of aerospace components such as ailerons and fuselages.
