3	Foundation	a. Architecture should fit a project design into its natural surroundings with out destroying its surrounding environment.	Using this technique provides for a minimal impact on the surrounding site and is most cost efficient to clientele.	# 16 gowright.org
4	Essential Question	What is the best way for an architect to incoporate natural surroundings in a building design?	Given	Given
5	Answer 1	a. the building envelope is a new technique for building homes in natural areas while still preserving the natural ecosystem. Answer 1: An architect should consider when incorporating nature into their design a technique known for preserving the pre-existing site: Nature's Envelope.	a. The envelope is designed to preserve as much natural landscape as possible on a realistic basis. b. using nature's envelope can establish unity with in nature and the building design often seeked through organic architecture philosophies.	# 23a,b,c, d Book: Building Inside Nature's Envelope
6	Answer 2	a. Biomimicry is a technique used in various fields to establish more innovative solutions to man-made issues through observational techniques of functional/practical natural sytems and functions. Answer 2: In order to incorporate natural surrounding into a design, an architect needs to apply knowledge from his or her natural surroundings to create a more innovative design: known as Biomimicry.	a. " Nature makes extremely economical use of materials, which is achieved through involved ingenuity of form." b. this technique is a both a preservation of nature as well as seeks to incorporate nature into its design through natural forms and functions	#27a Book: Biomimicry in Architecture
7		b. Biomimicry is a performaced based design that seeks to lessen our ecological imprint	a. performative design can encopass complex geometry, parametric design while advancing the process beyond mere observation of nature's forms b. goal of this process is the development of meaningful, flexible, and adaptative relationships between systems in which architecture can utilize for a purposeful solution	#25a Book: Architecture Follows Biomimetic Principles for Innovative Design
8		c. There are two method of how to apply or transfer biomimicry into architecture. d.	a. Biomimteics by analogy and Biomimetics by induction b. induction's starting point is from nature to establish a solution-based approach, and analogy starting point is an issue within technology and goes through a problem-based approach	#31a Book: Biomimetics-Materials, Structures and Processes: Examples, Ideas and Case Studies
9	Answer 3	a. Green Design has taken into consideration the health of individuals as well as the resourceful methods to sustain our ecosystem. Answer 3: In order to include nature into a building design, and architect needs to help sustaim the structure's natural surrounds through a process known as geen design.	a. new homes today are about 35% more energy efficient thatn those built prior to 1976. b. through the process of construction of a green design it is important to minimize the environmental impact of construction; this can be solved using recycled, renewable, and reused materials.	#18a Book: Eco-Architecture
10	Best Answer	If: Biomimetic design principles are an archiectual guideline to incorporate nature through applied observational skills. Then: the best way for an architect to integrate nature in a building design is through the design philosophy of Biomimetic principles Because: due to the fact that this is the best way to create an advanced innovative/resourceful design through observational studies taken from systems and functions found in nature.
