Abstract

Architecture has long sought to improve both in terms of form, space and other elements. Meanwhile, the use of innovative techniques that enhance design is always one of the concerns in the field of design. Biomimetic and Nature-Friendly architecture have always inspired by natural organisms aims to emphasize harmony with the environment. From another approach, contemporary industrial architecture has a valuable place in this knowledge, and the restoration and preservation of this heritage is a serious subject. Using attractive methods like an integration of new technology and monumental heritage lead to a profound impact. To this end, designing a canopy using an interactive and kinetic pattern to value this theme can be effective on sustainable development goals in area. This canopy which is inspired by biomimetic pattern and natural potentials from the site, responses to external motivation and adapts its kinetic movements to follow human interactions. The innovative techniques are involved with choosing a precise geometrical frame and order, kinetic patterns suitable for the project and finally fabrication of an scale model from actual dimensions. By choosing a suitable site that houses building of contemporary industrial architecture such as a railway station, this paper aims at learning from nature to fulfill industrial heritage legacy retention that is in both physical and spiritual interaction with humans.
