From the onset it must be considered that architecture to its full extent may not appear to be the most suited field for discussion in the context of Bionic Engineering.Although components and technologies of architectures may be directly informed and suited for discussion of bionic design,this approach does no seem to satisfy the overarching relation between a given architecture as a set of interleaved complex assemblies and the natural environment,as multiple performance criteria across spatial and time scales must be considered and these include not only the functional relation of a material object with its environment.Architecture was influenced by the natural environment throughout history,but much more specifically from the 18th century onwards as it evolved as a formal discipline in parallel to biology.
