This approach adapts processes of natural organisms to solve design problems and guides design in interior architecture, similar to many other disciplines. This study aims to present the process of implementing the biomimetic approach to interior architectural design in an informal education environment and to discuss the outcomes of this experience. In this context, the approach and implementation methods of biomimetic design have been examined and a workshop study called “BIOStructure”, which was intended to integrate these methods into spatial design, has been analysed. This workshop was organized as part of an International Student Triennial in order to experience the approach of biomimetic design as an informal education tool. In the workshop, students were asked to experiment with biomimetic design in either a solution-driven approach, or a problem-driven approach. As a result, it was observed that most of the students preferred a solution-driven approach to a problem-driven approach and students in earlier stages of design education tended towards form-oriented abstraction of biological knowledge, whereas students with more design experience tended towards principle-oriented abstraction.  \nKeywords  \nbiomimetic design; interior architecture education; biomimicry; design education; informal learning; workshops  \nIntroduction  \nBiomimicry is an applied science that is the source of inspiration for solving human problems through the study of natural organisms, processes and systems. The use of nature as a source of inspiration to develop new concepts for human conceived systems has occurred throughout human history. Systematic studies of how biological knowledge can improve the generation of ideas are relatively new (Salgueiredo, 2013) . The term “Biomimicry”(bios: life, mimesis: imitation) was coined in 1962 by the naturalist Janine M. Benyus. Benyus describes Biomimicry as “The conscious emulation of nature’s genius”(Benyus, 1997) . Another definition of Biomimicry is “Mimicking the functional basis of biological forms, processes and systems to produce sustainable solutions”(Pawlyn, 2011) .  \nDesigners take inspiration from various sources to solve challenging design problems. Nature is an important source of inspiration for scientists, designers and engineers from different  \nfields of interest. Every organism in nature is unique and fully adapted to its environment. This lasts through generations, while passing the test of survival to reach its next generation (El-Zeiny, 2012) . Disciplines such as architecture, construction, information processing, robotics, etc. use bioinspiraton for generating new ideas (Speck, Speck, Beheshti & McIntosh, 2008) . Similar to other design disciplines, various biomimetic design methods have been developed for the discipline of interior architecture. In this research, a literature review was previously conducted on the methods that designers and interior architects who want to use biomimicry could use to improve the built environment. The workshop experience realized with the help of the determined method as a result of this review has been shared, and the students’ feedback related to the biomimetic design process has been evaluated.  \nBiomimetic Design Approaches  \nBiomimetic design is an emerging research field in design that seeks for systematically mining biological knowledge to solve design problems (Stone, Goel & McAdams, 2014) . This approach has inspired many designers in the history of design. However, it is relatively new that it has become a movement by the growing need for sustainability and desire for creativity and innovation in design (Goel, Vattam, Wiltgen & Helms, 2014) .  \nThe literature review on the biomimetic d","cbCailmQbIOeRUrH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailmQbIOeRUrH","pdf",1433286,16,"English","# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# Introduction\n# Biomimetic Design Approaches\n## Solution-driven approach\n## Problem-driven approach","[{\"question\":\"What is biomimetic design in this study?\",\"answer\":\"Biomimetic design is described as creating design ideas inspired by nature by adapting processes of natural organisms to solve design problems in interior architecture.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the “BIOStructure” workshop?\",\"answer\":\"The workshop was organized as an informal education tool to integrate biomimetic design methods into spatial design, and to analyze student experiences and feedback.\"},{\"question\":\"How did students differ between solution-driven and problem-driven approaches?\",\"answer\":\"Most students preferred a solution-driven approach.
