Abstract: (458 Views)
The architectural configuration of high-rise buildings is of crucial importance, given their readability in the urban context. Various factors influence the architectural configuration. Today, taking into account the structural considerations according to regulations and rules, which are the basis for action, leads to buildings with high structural efficiency and low architectural attractiveness that are implicitly incompatible with the vital role of high-rise buildings regarding urban design. Accordingly, many designers of high-rise buildings are prioritizing visual effectiveness, imposing high costs on these projects. The present study has been carried out to offers an approach based on biomimicry principles, which are inspired by nature as a pattern of architectural design and take advantage of the characteristics of an organism (such as sympodial plants or elm trees) to enhance efficiency, as well as the visual attractiveness of high-rise building configurations. This research is an applied-developmental study regarding its objective and a descriptive-quantitative case study concerning its nature. The information was collected using note-taking and observation forms through library and field methods.
In this study, the configurations of plants with similar structures to high-rise buildings were investigated, one of the most similar configurations was selected, and its main principles were extracted. Then, the extracted principles were generalized to the structure of a similar high-rise building and converted into a 3D model, along with a control sample with a conventional structural system, using an AutoCAD program 2022. Then, by simulating both models in the SAP software, their structural sections were determined and compared with each other. This procedure revealed that the configurations of high-rise buildings designed with respect to the configurations of sympodial plants and elm trees had optimum structural behavior, as well as proper volumetric compositions.
