Synopsis

Climate change and carbon emissions have made using environmentally friendly, sustainable materials mandatory. In addition, sustainable design approaches and production materials are gaining importance today, when natural resources are limited and environmental pollution is increasing. At this point, wood is a natural, renewable building material that helps reduce carbon footprint. When this feature of wood is combined with biomimicry designs, it offers solutions that reduce the impact of climate change. Biomimicry aims to analyze how living things in nature adapt to environmental conditions and apply versions of them with similar shapes or functions to man-made designs, and designs inspired by nature are optimized in terms of durability, energy saving and functionality, and take an important place in sustainable design. This study examines the potential and contributions of wood and biomimicry in designing future designs as a sustainable approach to climate change from a zero-carbon perspective. It aims to contribute to the goal of carbon-free living by examining the carbon storage ability of wooden products and the potential of biomimicry strategies to provide energy efficiency and material durability.
