The Application of Biomimetics and Architectural Skin as a Sustainable Strategy

The relationship between biomimetics as a design strategy and architectural skin as a construction technique, both of these strategies can be implemented in a building design process to develop more sustainable project, now a days there is a pollution problem in Mexico and one of the main causes is the waste generated by construction, in addition, just a few investors are interested in the application of bioclimatic strategies, sustainable technologies and building materials because they imply a large investment and constant maintenance, which is why an architectural skin designed based on the responsive skin of the crocodile is proposed, which is expected to be seen as a model for future generations of Mexican architects for them to implement these strategies and methodologies in their design process.
