      abstract = {This book focuses on understanding biomimetic architecture  and its role as a sustainable design tool. It presents the  role of biomimicry in mitigation and adaptation to climate  change and examines how biomimetic architecture can provide  healthy solutions to limit the spread of COVID-19 in  buildings and cities. Coverage includes global examples of  biomimetic approaches and buildings, an evaluation of the  performance of biomimicry applications in architecture to  illustrate best practices, and an exploration of how nature  can offer inspiration in building design to conserve  resources and save energy use as well as curb carbon  emissions a reaffirmed goal of COP 26 and an outcome of  Glasgow Climate Pact. Finally, the book presents guidelines  to enhance urban areas and healthier spaces in buildings to  meet COVID-19 social distance regulations and beyond.  Examines global applications of biomimicry in architecture;  Highlights the importance of biomimicry in driving  livability in cities and buildings; Explores the role of  biomimetic architecture in mitigating climate change.},
