Aspects between Design for Adaptability and Nature: bioinspiration in ephemeral artifacts

Abstract

The contemporary environmental challenge, marked mainly by carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere that intensify climate change, has culminated in planetary consequences already considered irreversible. In this sense, this article seeks to emphasize Design for Adaptability (DfAD) as a Biomimicry design practice, through consideration of the life cycle and accommodation to changes. For this, an investigation of the ICD-ITKE 2013-14 Research Pavilion was carried out,highlighting the advantages in terms of design, structural and material logic for ephemeral bioinspired artifacts. Finally, it was emphasized that the look to Nature, as a source of solutions and references, shows itself as an alternative to balance the impacts arising from excessive human actions
