Abstract

The article describes architectural bionics that was formed in the 1960s in the USSR as an independent direction in the theory and practice of architecture. It has become an organic synthesis of the classical theory of architectural composition and modern technical bionics located at the interface of the natural sciences, cybernetics and engineering. The main feature of architectural bionics consists in its integrated approach of taking the animate nature as part of general spatial environment in which architecture should be organically integrated. The aesthetic component of architectural bionics is its main difference, both from building bionics, and from modern biomimetics. Architectural bionics has become one of the few architectural phenomena of the 20th century that have arisen in Russia and are recognized worldwide.
