In architectural design, there are several examples of biomimicry that can
be found; although, many of these examples use it in different ways, and it
is often considered not to be a total design solution but rather as a solution
to a particular aspect of design. Michael Pawlyn, an architect that uses
biomimicry, has identified several ways in which biomimicry can be applied to

identifies applications for water management, climate control, structural
innovations, material developments, and energy production
