Abstract

The relationship between architecture and biology is a long-established link in our disciplinary field. However, at present, in the field of architecture theory and practice, a series of novel terms emerge that are incorporated into language and actions in the discipline: biomimicry, evolutionary architecture, morphogenetic design, morphoecologies, protocell architecture, generative architecture and other derivatives of biological science. This article explores, based on our research – focused on analogical thinking and descriptive memories – the link between this binomial, its historical evolution and some questions of the most advanced state of the subject in contemporary times.
