Full Article:

Combining Biomimicry and Parametric Design, this research aims to detail the design process of an ephemeral pavilion which uses the method Biomimicry Design Lens, proposed by Biomimicry 3.8. The experiments developed in this paper followed the method’s diagram insights and it was guided by the ‘Biology for Design’ diagram in a non-sequential order in the design process. The pavilion is located in the Serpentine Gallery, and it was bio-inspired by the ribs of the inferior face of the Victoria amazonica leaf, a natural morphological structure that was translated into a quadrangular grid characteristic of the waffle structure. Finally, the parametric implementation allowed the development of several morphological experiments
