There is currently much interest in designing new materials that mimic particular properties of plants. For example, self-cleaning materials have been developed from structures on the leaf surface of sacred lotus, and new composite fibres are being designed from plants to replace metal structures. Biomimetic theory and its application, bio-inspired design, derive concepts from natural systems and appear to have potential to create new types of sustainable materials. The benefits of this approach seem to come from the linking of ethnographic and ecological research with building science to create and test new building technologies. Using spinifex as an example, it has been possible to develop some underlying principles to this approach to advance the methodology.

A sky scanner is an important tool for measuring sky luminance and establishing daylight conditions of a location. However, it is expensive, difficult to set-up and the process is time consuming. Digital imaging with wide-angle lenses can be a cost and time effective alternative to sky scanners. The use of photographic techniques in luminance measurement is not new and CCD (charged couple device)/vidicon based still and video camera luminance meters have been previously developed for different tasks. Among the camera systems developed for daylight measurement only a few have concentrated on entire sky luminance measurement. As a part of ongoing research on digital camera calibration for sky luminance measurement, this paper investigates a procedure to determine the distortion that occurs in two-dimensional fisheye images from sky scanner aperture angles. The artificial sky at the University of Sydney is used for the experiments. Digital images are captured using a fisheye lens, following the 145-...

Research into biomimetics has focused on science and technology, often developing the innovative parts of buildings from nature, leading to a new field of bioinspired architecture. The work of Frank Lloyd Wright is presented as an early example of bioinspired architecture and explores how buildings might be more broadly integrated into their site and environment. Integrating architecture, biomimetics and eco-mimesis as a framework to look at the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, provides a new understanding of his architecture and directions for future research into the ecological design of buildings and cities.
