Abstract: The systems, processes and organisms in nature have been extensively assisted designers and architects to find improved and innovative solutions. The organisms of nature are the creative results that developed a sustainable equilibrium conditions in their environments in the Earth. Architects have been investigating the life style and function of nature in order to seek new design sources from natural elements for architectural design. A basic concept of nature inspiration architecture is to get new design ideas from pictures, shapes, mechanisms or organism that occur and creative in nature. This research is going to find out ways to apply ideas from nature for architectural design, and then is analysed the existing buildings which include nature inspiration designs and techniques. Nature-inspired architecture has a design philosophy that seeks solutions in nature, not by imitating the forms, but by understanding the rules in nature.
Key words: new design sources, nature inspiration architecture, nature inspiration design and techniques
