Dragomirescu examine that Bionic as a key field to make connection between biology and the world of engineering is getting more and more interest from many different industry; also needs of it in education appears as some university are opening some course in this field like Politechnica university of Bucharest in one of their conferences mentioned about this subject under the name of bionics in engineering. As Neumann defined bionic as, “Bionic is the scientific discipline, which is in charge with the systematic transfer of construction, process and evolution principles of living systems into technical applications.” And Natchigall in other words say, “Bionic is learning from nature for creation of independent technical solution.” So maybe we can say that it is somehow necessary for engineers and other industry to have information about biology and bionic to find out their answers from nature. (Dragomirescu, 2007)

Kurk explore that is there any reason to look to nature for design, Billions of year’s nature had done the optimal way to produce and cerate. “Nature solution are not only optimal in design, they are also always based upon life-sustaining principles.” The main idea to visualize nature as a teacher is: “to build effective design solution that are also compatible with life.” In the other word it says: “inspiration from our natural world to optimize and distinguish our design” (Kurk. F, 2008)

On the side of these studies of inspiration; in architecture architect and designer had some ideas and philosophies of inspiration from nature like organic architecture and many architects was worked in this area like Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, Antoni Gaudi, Rudolf Steiner. The main idea of the organic architecture is “inspiration from the principles of living nature. This often led to free and expressive forms. These where not meant as an imitation of nature, but to support people as living and creative beings”. (www.organic-architecture.org. 2009).

This survey shows that inspiration from nature is far from a well-defined area of study in architecture, and that it would either eliminate some of the concerns refer to or else turn out as broad and general as to be little practice value. It should be understood that this attempt is limited to particular perspective that of the architects who tries to get better grasp of the inspiration from nature for architectural design decision and tries to understand how these inspiration affect others involved in architectural projects.
