In recent years sustainability in design has become a central part of the plan in architecture that has led to the pertinent need of design that is rooted in natural phenomena’s to balance both cost-effectiveand ecologicalchallenges. This influence hascompelled new methodologiesto architectural designprocess. Design methodology that inspiresfrom processes as complex as “genetics and evolution” as a model are still intangible in architecture. This research is an attempt to explore the phenomenon called‘divergent evolution’ and express it as an architectural solution by designing architectural prototypes in the form of museum pavilions. The interest of this research lies within the realm of utilizing inspiration found from nature and translating the acquired information into an architectural solution. The process lends itself into an architectural discourse of experimentation and investigation, which is addressed at the scale of a pavilion design. This research discoversbiomimetic process as a latenttechnique that help assimilate organicsustainability to architectural design. This has been achieved by studying anatural process to realizeits form and the environment within asystem. This researchlook atBiomimetic theory, and presents a model, which is appropriateto architecture. This model is tested as an experimentation that proposes two ways of rivallingnature: direct and indirect that detectnaturally occurring alterationand assimilationprocesses. The aim and outcome of this research isa unique methodologythat emphasizes adaptability of biomimetic concept intoarchitecture.
