Popis: Nowadays, a lot of energy is consumed in buildings, which leads to an increase in environmental pollution and a shortage of natural resources. Therefore, from our position as engineers, we must care more about sustainability in order to reduce the damage of buildings to the environment. Based on that, this thesis discusses biomimicry architecture and how it can be used in facades. In the first part, concepts are presented that explain biomimicry architecture and its three types, summarized in organisms, behavior, and ecosystems. Examples of their work are given to clarify the mechanism of their work. In the second part of the thesis, the materials and techniques that were used in biomimicry facades of buildings to adapt to the external climate are studied, which leads to reducing the use of HVCS, thus saving energy and reducing carbon emissions to make the environment more sustainable. As a result, we find that biomimicry facades are an effective way to preserve the environment while providing a beautiful view of the building. The third section analyzed projects that used biomimetic facades to adapt to a climate, selected based on different climates and technologies in office facades in the time period 2010-2012. The Media ICT building in Barcelona is the first example of a vital architectural facade, and the system has been used. The second example of experimental smartness to adapt to the environment is the Bahar towers in Abu Dhabi The facades were designed using the dynamic facade system to adapt to the external climate of the building. A good example is the Doha Tower in Doha. The system Geometrical Fixed Screen Facade was used in the facades to adapt to the climate of the area in which they are located, and then came up with results on the use of bio-architecture in the facades of buildings to adapt to the climate based on the previous scientific research and the comparison of the three previous examples. Accordingly, it is suggested to use solar panels on the vital facades to supply the building with energy, which leads to reducing energy consumption and environmental pollution.
