| Popis: | Today, human activities are the leading cause of severe environmental damages, especially regarding shortage and instability of natural resources. The sustainability concept was developed in response, to limit these risks and facilitate living conditions for future generations. Life and nature have historically been considered as inspiring in architecture among others, prompting an environmental-oriented sense of direction towards resolving present-day issues. Despite the proliferation of nature-inspired sciences, hardly any attention is paid to classifications and interconnections between these sciences regardless of benefits associated with such studies. However, the availability of such a classification and its use in present-day architecture can significantly contribute to the advancement of environmental sustainability.The current research has identified and presented a comprehensive framework of sciences inspired by life and nature (bio) and their relationship. The research method is qualitative-descriptive and focuses on articles containing the word ‘bio’, published in Springer publishers between 2020 and 2022. The review of the 1927 articles have led to a classification of biological studies into 11 groups (bionic, biomimetic, biomorphic, biofuel (biodiesel, bioalcohol, bioethanol, biohydrogen, and biogas), biomaterial, biohybrid, bioaerosol, biotechnology, bioalgorithm (biodesign intelligence and biomaterial intelligence), bioart (bio-inspired design and biodecoration), biophilia (biophilic design) and the relationship between them environmental sustainability. The outcome is a development of the theoretical knowledge about bio-inspired sciences and indicates that international bioscience studies mainly focus on biofuels and biotechnology, along the lines of reducing human activities’ impact on the environment, efficient use of natural resources, protect biodiversity, and a harmonious relationship between humans and the natural environment. |
