APPLICATION OF THE BIO-ANALOGUE DESIGN METHOD IN THE FORMATION OF MOBILE DWELLINGS FOR TEMPORARY STAY

Abstract

The bio-analogue design method is aimed at improving the architectural forms of a mobile home by selecting and applying optimal natural structures drawn up in the process of evolutionary development. Accordingly, the purpose of the study is to determine the principles of creating mobile homes based on the bio-analogue design method. The research task is to study the features of the structure of living organisms and the functioning of natural systems to determine the ways of shaping and constructive solutions of mobile buildings. It is noted that the methods of architectural bionics should be aimed at studying the structural features of organic natural systems throughout their life cycle. In the course of the study, transforming natural models capable of changing the size and type of shape are studied (succulent plants, insects order the Lepidoptera, the family puffers); mobile natural objects with the ability to overcome distances by moving in space (plants from the fungi department, animals from the arthropod order, reptiles from the grass snake family). In result, the following principles of creating mobile homes are determined: compactness of the structural form of the building, its ability to repeatedly transform the volume and unhindered movement independently or with the help of kinematic properties of other systems. To consider the issues of shaping in nature and architecture, reference forms are taken - a cone, a spiral, a hexagonal prism, a sphere and spatial natural structures, such as shells, ribbed, lattice, mesh, folded and cable–stayed structures. Based on the research, conceptual models of mobile temporary dwellings for tourists, geologists, researchers of the North and nomadic pastoralists have been developed.
