Bio-climatic design is essential to all architecture because buildings consume large amount of energy to maintain comfortable indoor environments. To achieve this goal, we need a model that can be a source of inspiration as well as knowledge to motivate and help architects in creating such architecture.Many designers have taken inspiration from nature and explored various ways of mimicking its models. In this creative project, I looked at various entities in nature to understand how they acclimatize to respective climatic settings. Based on several observations, I extracted Nature's design principles and applied those to the bio-climatic design of buildings. These principles are helpful in developing a general understanding for making our buildings responsive to climate. / Department of Architecture
