| Abstract |
Air pollution and health problems due to fine dust are widely perceived as a serious environmental problem. The purpose of this research is to present a Biomimicry method to reduce fine dust in buildings. Although architectural planning methods to control temperature, light, and etc. are continuously being studied, research for reducing fine dust still need progress. Research method and process is as follows. First, cases have been studied to derive specific effects of Biomimicry architecture. Also, existing methods of reducing fine dust have been studied to derive natural elements which are able to be used as a main factor for filtering fine dust. Organisms and principles found in nature where studied to see how theses elements are being controlled in nature. Based on this research process, Biomimicry methods for reducing fine dust in buildings have been presented and a building system was developed by selecting and applying presented methods. Results of this research can become a foundation to activate research and technical developments in this field. |
