Abstract: Biomimetic design process approaches have been emphasized systematically as a result
of works among disciplines of current technology and biological science. In order to find solutions
for a decrease in biodiversity, pollution, and issues of the ecosystem, the nature experience shows
itself in areas of biomimetic products, architecture, and urban designs in which nature-focused
invasions are basically being imitated. Nature-focused designs have set their own framework by
examining forms of different nature dynamics (scale, function, formation process) by presenting a
sustainable environment. It can be seen that designs are made real by adhering to the resolution of
forms, understanding, and interpretation of nature and by embracing fractal designs with the effort
of creating a sustainable environment. In this study, emphasis was placed on revealed nature-based
design approaches. The article addresses biomimetic design processes, reveals the role of fractal
parameters in the design process, and examines the use of biomimetic approaches. By drawing
attention to the importance of studying and understanding these internal dynamics, the contribution
of natural inspiration and fractal concepts to the design process is examined. We examine research
related to the concept of biomimetics, creation/development of conceptual proposals, and analysis of
the established theoretical proposal through selected urban design examples in order to determine
the respective overlaps between these areas. Our study takes the form of an analysis of the formal
organization of living things together with a formal analysis focusing on the design principles. We
try to analyze the design principles and the changes in the principles, and discuss the resulting data

concrete, representing a thought, an object, or a creature. The sociological and cultural


changes in human life have shown differences in revealing the form within the design
process. Therefore, the form has become a language symbolizing the community, culture,
period, human, and thought.
Traditional urban plans use precise design systems that lack the flexibility to deal with
the complexity and change that characterize contemporary urban societies. In order to
design city plans with more flexibility, a design methodology based on shape grammar
has been proposed, which can generate a variety of design solutions rather than a single
rigid layout. In this approach, the plan is a design system that encodes a set of alternative
solutions rather than a single specific solution. This methodology was developed based
on an analysis of existing plans and a series of experiments carried out in the controlled
environment of design studios. The results show that shape grammars produce urban plans
with imprecise formal solutions while maintaining a coherent design language. Moreover,
they provide a greater degree of freedom to future designers by providing explicit and
implicit flexibility to plans. As a result, they are particularly well suited for this context [2].
From past to present, the relationship of humans with nature has had an interest
in the imitation (mimesis) concept. It is possible to see movements inspired by nature
and productions in various areas [1]. Movements inspired by nature have presented an
analogic attitude towards structural and stylistic pursuits up to the 20th century. Our
views towards nature have changed with the possibilities of biological science, developing
technology, and environmental issues. These developed tendencies try to compromise
with concepts of ecology and sustainability [2]. However, today’s designers are more
interested in how creatures of nature live rather than how they look. Beginning in the 1990s,
designs which were inspired, modeled, acquired, and implemented from the formations
and structurings of creatures of nature came to terms with mimesis–imitation concepts. As
a concept imitating the function and systems of nature, biomimetics expands horizons in
terms of sustainability [3]. Biomimesis is more curious about the functions of the creatures
in nature than about their forms. With regard to the fact that designs in nature are recyclable,
nature-friendly, aesthetic, durable, and long-lasting and seek full efficiency with the least
energy, they serve as a model for new horizons in technological works.
By considering both present and future generations, the new concepts comprised
of macro- and micro-sizes for making the world a more livable place take their place
in every process of our lives in line with trying to solve the issues with codes, order,
mathematical data, dynamics, complexities, rhythm, and the balance of nature with today’s
technologies [3,4]. By adhering to the biomimetic concept which becomes a current issue in
industrial product designs, architectural fields, material science, nano-technology, robot
technology, computer software, and transportation areas with this solution, the creatures
of nature, and microscopic surveillance is possible to investigate the fractals. It is clear
that the examined fractals have been a source of inspiration for various designs. Modern
designs originate much more from natural resources. There are observable varieties in the
design approaches to identifying the internal dynamics of nature. In addition, it can be
seen that nature, process, and formation are always nested with evolution. The biomimetic
concept can be seen as resulting from the examination of dynamics in nature contrary to
the divergent sciences at the present time [3–7].
Urbanization is an important and continuous process for the economic development of
a city. Although rapid urbanization provides a great employment opportunity for people in
terms of life and job opportunities, threats in cities are increasing proportionally due to man-
made and natural hazards. In urban design, understanding biomimesis and sustainability
based on nature dynamics while facing the dangers in a rapidly developing and urbanizing
world is an important issue. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the concept and improve
the urban design based on fractal design in the context of biomimetics from the existing
literature [8,9]. A systematic review of the literature suggests that there are interrelated
paradigms such as biomimetics and fractal sustainability that emphasize the capacity of a
system to move towards desired development paths. Resilient, ecological, and sustainable
Sustainability 2023, 15, 7682 3 of 21

integration with nature is fundamentally about protecting social health and well-being
in the context of a broader framework of environmental change. There are significant
differences in emphasis and time scales, especially in the context of urbanization [10,11].
This study was conducted under four main components in the direction of biomimetic levels
(Organism Level—imitation of living things; Behavior Level—imitation of the behavior of
an organism; Ecosystem Level—ecosystem imitation; Functional Level—course, function)
determined the basic indicators of biomimetic-fractal urban design. This study identified
various indicators (module, measure, angle) under the dimensions (sustainable, fractal)
of biomimetics related to urban design. These findings are fruitful in understanding the
strategy of measuring and managing urban resilience and nature dynamics with fractal
dimensions [12,13].
According to Benyus, the study of formations in nature and interdisciplinary studies
brings together many branches of science; it has been observed that formation and for-
mation are always living in it and are intertwined with evolution. It aims to bring nature
from the front at every scale, to collect and organize groups of surface patterns, examine
the scale, reveal the fractals of living things in nature, and be compatible with macro- and
micro-diffusion design forms between the studied and the created.
Starting from the concept of mimesis in understanding and interpreting nature, work-
ing with the science of biology, and opening new horizons for the designs aimed at the
analysis of fractal forms in nature with the possibilities that can be obtained, the principal
contributions of the analogical and biological approaches of the approaches in nature were
investigated. In line with these approaches, the fractal needs of living things in consump-
tion designs and the meaning and interpretation of design are discussed. The study, which
analyzes urban designs, provides different perspectives for interpretation in usage design.
When we look at the solution proposals in nature in every behavior in the cost burden of the
design effort, in its evaluation, and in the consumption of the search for solutions, all the
biological aspects between the form and the meaning of the design are emphasized [14–16].
In the middle of the 20th century, Le Corbusier designed using the golden ratio,
modular design, and serial arrangements in nature with the method he developed from the
body, using the concept of mimesis, from the physical laws of living things. The results that
Le Corbusier reached by observing nature with an analogical approach were examined in
terms of fractal design in the concept of biomimetics. One of today’s contributors, Patrick
Schumacher, analyzed urban fiction from natural forms with the biomimetic approach to
analyze his designs. He used the same principles, such as the golden ratio, modular design,
parameter, and serial structures found in nature.
In line with this biological purpose, this study continues with a design-specific meta-
analysis. As a result of the research, the modernist designs of fractal urban designs, and Le
Corbusier’s and Patrick Schumacher’s urban designs, realized modernist designs using
today’s technology are discussed with the meta-analysis method and at the ecosystem level,
which is one of the biomimetic levels, and their design approaches are compared.
In this direction, we compared one of the important names of the modernist period,
Le Corbusier, with today’s modernist city protector Patrick Schumacher using the meta-
analysis method to examine nature-oriented solutions to daily designs for hand use based
on fractal sampling design applications and livable solutions for those living in cities. The
aim was to reveal the examinations and design principles of usage designs by considering
the nature of design principles differently. Le Corbusier, the groves connected to the
environment of the world, the protected and the golden ratio, and/or the livable cities
with the concepts they have in them, such as Fibonacci, are his visionary reflectors. Patrick
Schumacher, on the other hand, created city versions consisting of complex processes and
self-repetitive parts, using dynamics in nature and serial repetitions. Although the artifacts
are different (grilled/organic), they can be experienced based on natural conditions or
dynamics, where users provide their unity between the environment with fractal forms.
In the study, it is a fact that in the Le Corbusier and Patrick Schumacher biomimetic
groups, the two guardians of the inhabitants of the hand accept that they use different

nature codes. Although they have designed fractal city models by examining different
levels of nature, it is possible that they are biomimetic-oriented as well. However, it is seen
that they contribute to the business level, as they design livable, accessible, compact cities
that allow biodiversity in usage design models by using different elevations and layouts in
nature. This clearly demonstrates the argument that livable cities with a high quality of life
can be designed as a result of the contribution to the ecosystem level.

2. Materials and Methods


In this study, data on the adaptation of the structural and fictional aspects of biomimetic-
oriented designs to the design product were collected based on the concepts examined
and designed using the text reading method as a result of literature research. The study
includes qualitative and meta-analysis methods. As a result of the analysis, fractal codes in
nature were analyzed and evaluated in line with the concept of biomimetics [5,17–20].
The conceptual framework of the research is formed as a result of the biological and
technological systems of biomimetics. The created method is tested and evaluated through
the information collected through a literature review.
As a result of the evaluations, a classification was made. The conceptual framework of
the proposal includes the selection and examination of concepts from different disciplines,
the evaluation of the created proposal, and the evaluation of the fractal dimensions of
living things in nature, which are analyzed under the title of biomimetics in design, while
adhering to biological data in order to limit the very wide subject area [6,8,19–21].
The urban designs of Le Corbusier and Patrick Schumacher, who are important names
of the 20th century, were examined in line with the findings obtained in terms of biomimetic
levels, organism level, behavior level, ecosystem level, and functional level. Comparisons
of urban design approaches were made using the meta-analysis method with the findings
obtained as a result of a mutual examination of the golden ratio, modular system, and
fractal and parameter concepts in urban designs [21–24].

The Limitations of the Study


Today, efforts to make life and the environment sustainable envisage turning to nature,
understanding the inner dynamics of nature, and benefiting from it. This situation is a
reference of the architecture and urban design disciplines as well, and is specially handled
with the concept of biomimetics and fractals. In this paper,
• Le Corbusier and Patrick Schumacher’s designs are compared and discussed in terms
of sustainability.
• Today, with the change of orientation towards nature, the aim of creating a sustainable
environment with the movement inspired by nature is being developed in the name
of sustainability in design by considering the concept of biomimetics. In the formation
of sustainable designs, which have become important today, biomimetic approaches,
which are an innovative perspective instead of an analogical attitude, and fractal urban
design, which is the geometry of nature, are both important.
Urban designs can be realized by adhering to the analysis of fractal forms and fiction
created in line with understanding and interpreting nature and biomimetic approaches.
Analyzing the fractal codes in nature can enable us to design holistic cities. Here, we
engage in classification of the concept of biomimetics, examination of the research on the
concept of biomimetics, and analysis to determine the overlap through selected urban
design examples in the form of analyzing the formal organization of living things and
making a formal analysis depending on the design principles, trying to analyze the changes
in design principles and principles, and discussing the emerging data within the framework
of its concepts [3,4].

3. Biomimetic Approaches
The fact that biomimetics is an inspiration for the designs of new generations has taken
its place in the literature during the twentieth century, and has been the reason for studies
Sustainability 2023, 15, 7682 5 of 21

in many different disciplines. Subject headings such as genetic science, communications


technology, nanotechnology, space sciences, four-dimensional geometry, fractals, complex
poli-hydrozoa, composite and smart materials, and portable structures change our perspec-
tives toward nature. Learning methods for making use of nature have been developed
with the progressions in information technologies. Biomimetic designs carry out design
approaches by taking inspiration from nature and macro- and micro-sizes, which increase
human life standards [17,20,25]. According to Jenine M. Benyus, there are three main
application areas found in biomimetic architecture: Biomimesis–Biomimetics in Urban
Design, Biomimetics in Product Design, and Biomimetics in Architectural Design [25–27].
With biomimetics, sustainable designs are being realized in product and architectural
design by taking the functions of nature as an example. Both micro-sized and macro-sized
items are being developed with the aim of creating a more livable environment. The
organism level, behavior level, ecosystem level, and function level, along with design
principles, are determined in today´s designs with the structuring process of-natural
organisms of biomimetic approaches [4,28–30].
Biomimicry is a design framework with an increasing interest in sustainability in
architectural and urban design practices. However, there is a significant lack of study and
information regarding its practical application. In line with the possibilities provided by
biomimetics, we analyzed projects examined with fractal modules using a meta-analysis
approach. This example from the projects of Le Corbusier and Patrick Schumacher points to
the attention drawn to biomimicry and fractals in their designed urban projects. Biomimicry
has been applied in many fields, and has been mostly applied using macroscopic models
such as ecosystems, plants, and animals [31–34].
Form, material, and the formation phase of the structure form the main parts of its
design. As seen in biomimetic designs, parts of the form can be made by using the intelli-
gence of the environment from the macro-scale to the micro-scale in all products that can
be designed by researching the function added by the form nature. Sustaining the needs of
life provides opportunities by producing solutions to today’s problems [35–38]. Reference

absolute determination of mathematical data. The fact that the levels of irregular and
shattered patterns in nature coincide with all scales plays an important role in being a
fractal dimension concept [19,44–46].
Shape grammars are a system of simple visual rules used to transform one shape into
another, including an initial state, a set of instructions, and a termination condition. They
support the discovery of designs within an existing design language by providing tools
to identify their generation or production of new design languages. Although their use is
more prominent in architecture, shape grammars are increasingly used at the urban design
scale due to software and hardware improvements that support their use for flexible urban
planning [47,48].
Today, in our rapidly urbanizing world where cities are becoming hotspots for climate
change [22], it is increasingly important to understand how cities work and how urban
form affects people’s lives [49,50]. In order to create this understanding, climate change,
urban sprawl, change of lands, the destruction of ecological systems, and the result of
irreversible changes have become common features of the earth. This applies equally to
urban areas that are a deeply interconnected part of the complex land system [10,51]. It
takes a fractal perspective by reviewing what we currently know about the application of
fractal form and function, an important aspect of complex systems, and what questions we
can find answers to. Designing urban areas that provide shorter distances to amenities is an
important factor for more walkable environments and is a critical aspect of climate-resilient
urban planning, as it is generally accepted that areas with greater walkability discourage
car use and reduce CO2 emissions [37,52,53].

4.1. Le Corbusier
A Swiss architect and a pioneer in modernism, Le Corbusier has designed everything
which can be designed, including absolute architectural works, furniture designs, and
urban designs. In his designs, he had the purpose to show the discipline of determination
of events in the universe with various scientific regulations (the golden proportion). He
defended the idea that one will always obtain the same results of a phenomenon within the
same conditions and ingredients, and that one can always foresee this situation [22–24,54–57].

In Urban Designs
Le Corbusier presented the modern city of three million people as an alternative to
the cities of its time. For him, the fact that the bad conditions of the cities formed with
the effect of old cities and the industrialization in the 18th century caused physical and
spiritual diseases was due to the structure of the cities. For this reason, he suggested the
“Vertical Garden City”, which he believed could fight all physical and spiritual diseases in
the modern city [7,23,38,58]. The modern city has been created in an imaginary area with
a utopian approach. For him, basic principles which can form the skeleton of a modern
city are reachable with corporate formulas by adhering to modular data. The cities which
have been designed in line with these principles were accordingly applicable to special
cases. The ideal city was separated into symmetric grills and square parcels. A separation
of about 365 m between streets was due to the necessary distance for bus and train stations.
A multi-story station that reflects the city center unites at the main highway station, with
one coming North–South and the other East-West. The roads within the cities are disunited
themselves; heavy goods at the bottom, average burden in the middle, and express traffic
at the top [8,59–61].
The urban plan aimed to form an image displaying the desire for combining the broken
pieces of the discrete modern world. The real effect of the city is the rise of the current issue
with a new concept of vertical gardens. The modular formula which has been formed for
reaching the basic principles of ideal urban city planning was able to serve as a skeleton for
any system. The modern city has a grill-patterned design. The city is divided in line with
the modular system with the repetitions of grill ways and square parcels. The buildings are
placed within a geometric order in the urban plan. Asymmetric balance has been built into
Sustainability 2023, 15, 7682 8 of 21

the center of this plan, along with the formation of a sixth-floor skyline with another group,
which can be seen as symbols reflecting the needs of humans, and these skylines have been
built with self-repeating square parcels in the parks and green fields. Le Corbusier stresses
the importance of solving the geometrical components with absolute mathematical tools,
and the geometrical approach resembles the fractal urban design perception [51,62–65].
Designs have been considered which bring many different concepts forward with the
purpose of finding solutions to problems that in the period of early modernism Table 2,
Utopian approaches were considered by Le Corbusier with the purpose of creating cities
that “respond to the physical and spiritual sides of humans”.

4.2. Patrick Schumacher


Patrick S. Schumacher is an architect and city planner, urban designer, and theoretical
thinker of parametric design, which is a new flow containing innovative and experimental
designs in modern architecture. Parametric city planning was first developed in the aviation
and automotive industry based on the parametric design systems; it has been brought
to city planning, in which it has developed in line with parametric design techniques
and technology. This new generation allows large-scale urban planning. In his designs,
Schumacher addresses morphologies by measuring their potential for solving systematic
and technical issues [26,27,66,67].
Instead of drawing forms depending on the parametric design for being understood
(conventional), Schumacher developed the information parametric designs in Frei Otto´s
designs by bringing the suitability of the physical process together with nature regulations.
It is said that this approach reflects complexity, daintiness, elegance, power, and beauty.
According to Schumacher, all components within the reference system of parametric de-
sign are bound to each other and all components change in case of a single change of
any component. He forms complexity by intensifying the relationship between areas and
homogenization (serial repeating/fractal) in parametric designs and by protecting the
readable links. Designs are realized by adapting them to modern life. In order to form
an ideal city, the determined and/or principles function together with large-scale designs
in line with logical steps and computer-driven parametric design techniques [26,27,54,68].
In urban design, AI has great potential to improve decision-making and various evalu-
ation processes by performing complex iterations and making predictions quickly and
accurately. Proximity plays a fundamental role in fostering urban dynamics, influencing
city regulations and influencing the overall quality of life [69–71].
Digital cities are being designed as a result of the resolution of the nature codes by
today´s technology with the effect of globalization. An urban sample is formed towards
size, angle, and thickness, and receives parameters for the adapted balance in accordance
with chosen area and determined problem. The possible problems in the formed city
are determined in advance. More than one diverse urban model is being formed with
the changed parameters over a single principle in line with the determined problems.
Schumacher develops his concept by taking the natural events, environmental effects, and
their performance as a model. By using the actions, formations, and continuity of nature
as a base, the understanding of the systems brings a perspective to the scope of systems
with fractal solutions. Biological growth and development reveal a geometry of serial
repetitions/bifurcation and/or separation (fractal) as a result of repeating each other, of
geometric forms having a complex appearance within an order with a repetition of natural
events. The Thames Gateway Master Plan, prepared by Patrick Schumacher and his team
in line with these principles, has been designed with the use of techniques and principles
in digital parametric designs in the planning for developing new ways of solving problems
in the master plan containing an area spanning over East London and divided in two by
the Thames River. The built environment of the urban refresh field has been designed by
considering urban development and the diacritical architecture of London [27,54,72].

The main building standards in the plan are thought to be designed as buildings
consisting of flat slabs and urban blocks by taking inspiration from; individual villas,
high-rise towers, plate-shaped buildings, and the typical block structure of London. These
are in the making of four different geometric components (dot, line, plane, and volume)

appropriate for the built environment. Schumacher has created his corporate idea in
terms of possible styles of future developments and establishing a model according to the
conditions. He has aimed to create a complex urban area combining different types of
buildings (hybrid) with combinations of types of various building standards. Parameters
connected to each other, building nets, and logical self-organization (troop formation) have
been formed with parametric control techniques and city accession through parametric
design facilities in the master plan. Flexibility has been given to the plan in order to cope
with the fast-growing model [26,27,54,66,69,73]. The process was completed with a high
number of repetitions of elements in virtual modeling resulting from the change of the
given parameters.
Below, we address urban designs of Le Corbusier and Patrick Schumacher in line with
the ecosystem level of the biomimetic levels.
• Le Corbusier: ecosystem level
Based on absolute designs, he aimed to show this discipline with modular systems
which are combined with the physical regulations of universal events. The design principles
have been formed in line with the mathematical data (golden proportion/Fibonacci/fractal)
with modular sizes using the proportional geometry of humans or laws of proportions.
In line with these principles, he ensured a consolidation by uniting nature and humans
and designed his plans in accordance with the principles (Table 2). In order to ensure the
urban sprawl and the consolidation of nature and humans, he wanted to hinder vehicle
usage of the urban community by leaving a large part of the city to green fields. The high
density of urban life combines the advantages of Greenfield’s close-ness and low-density
life. He suggests the preference of retarded cities by balancing the necessities of modern
cities and population sizes in urban designs. The solution offered for problems in cities
is the integration of humans, nature, and technology in future urban plans by adhering
to the desire for the consolidation of humans and nature. According to Le Corbusier, a
city should be alive, compact, and organized with the center. The fact that the center is
reachable on foot in the designed cities ensures the continuity of aliveness. The compact
city has been designed with the repetition of fractal geometries by adhering to the modular
system. Although the designed cities are intense, he has designed urban utopias which
are livable and in which the living quality of humans increases and pollution decreases,
with a diversity of nature and increase of having no harm to the ecological balance by
meeting all physical needs of human and protecting the ecosystem level of cities and
built environments. The utopian approaches have changed in line with the possibilities of
technology. The ideal city plan has never lost its purpose while encountering problems in
metropolitan cities, and carries out its designs with different concepts and without ignoring
all functions, which may improve conditions in the comfort levels of humans, open areas,
and green fields in cities. Urban plans are being designed by taking the environmental
performance, effects, and nature as a model as a result of the functioning of different
disciplines all together with the dissolved absolute mathematical parameters.
• Patrick Schumacher: ecosystem level
When approaching the urban designs of Patrick Schumacher ecologically, the paramet-
ric design brings together the appropriateness of physical processes to nature regulations.
This approach forms spatial complexity with the protection of readable links by intensifying
the relation between serial repetitions resulting from the interconnection of all components
in its own reference system. The principles which are determined for the formation of an
ideal city design of digital cities result from the resolution of natural codes and inspiration
by nature. Schumacher develops his concepts by taking the natural events, environmental
effects, and their performance as a model and uses the actions, formations, and continuity of
nature as a base (Table 2). Biological growth and development reveal a fractal geometry of
serial repetitions/bifurcation and/or separation (fractal) as a result of repeating geometric
forms. The size or space is being designed with democratically collectivism by adhesion of
human actions to social interaction relations without abusing the built environment. He

Le Corbusier, who offers a solution to the problems experienced by the cities brought
by the period, is considered with the concept of biomimesis, which uses ways and dynamics
of inspiration from nature (Table 1); it adheres to the functioning of the universe and the
laws of physics, the golden ratio, the modular system, parameters, fractals, which are one
of the dynamics and mathematical data of nature, and Fibonacci series. He developed the
modular measure by adhering to the functioning of the universe and the laws of physics.
With mathematical data (golden ratio/Fibonacci), the repeating ratios are the reflections
of the laws of the universe. It is seen in biomimetic design approaches that sustainable
designs use the codes of nature.
For Patrick Schumacher, although the city models designed by adhering to parametric
design principles appear to be complex, the self-organizing complex situation of nature
emerges with the modeling of biological growth and evolutionary developments. The
mathematical modeling of the universe, the analysis of nonlinear systems, and the emer-
gence of geometry-like fractal forms that occur with the repetition of forms with a complex
appearance and a certain order formed by the repetition of events in nature have come to
the fore, adhering to the needs of twentieth-century developing cities.
Sustainable city forms can be designed with the concept of biomimesis, and the fractal
dimensions can be calculated by examining the constructions in nature. The result of the
solution of the resulting systems with fractal geometry is the connection of urban spaces
with integrated, low-deviation, and self-contained solutions as a result of the repetition of
dimensions.
Two urban designers who lived in different times, Le Corbusier and Patrick Schu-
macher, have been discussed as the protectors of the ideal city and/or permanent ap-
proaches from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, varying according to
the characteristics of their designs and showing spreads at certain points (Tables 5 and 6).
By bringing different disciplines together and looking at the designs they have ob-
tained, they are inspired by nature and pave the way for sustainable urban designs as a
result of the cooperation of technology and biology (Tables 5 and 6).
Le Corbusier’s urban models deal with the rising area of biomimetics;
• The purely thought-provoking structure of his designs aimed to show this doctrine
with a modular system in which the control of the planet is combined with the physical
structure of life in the universe.
• Using the law of proportions or the proportional geometry of the human, he created
the design components of the circles (golden ratio/Fibonacci/fractal) with modular
dimensions.
• Within the scope of these foundations, with the use of open-ground plans he ensured
the integration of cities by combining nature and people within the cities and his
designs adhered to these principles.
• In order to reduce congestion and use of the cities of the period, the vertical gardens
and the image to be designed in the city sits on the pilots, a large part of the city is
green area, and pedestrians are removed from the use of private vehicles. Urban life
combines the advantages of high limitations and the closeness of green spaces with
low borders.
• In urban designs, he proposes cities gradually by balancing the needs of the modern
city with population ratios.
When Patrick Schumacher’s urban designs are considered using biomimetic levels:
• Parametric design brings together the conformity of physical processes with the laws
of nature. With this approach, it creates spatial complexity by preserving readable
connections by intensifying the relationship between areas with serial repetition as a
result of the interconnection of all elements within its own reference system.
• The principles determined to create an ideal city design digital cities with logical steps,
inspired by the function of nature and as a result of the analysis of nature’s codes.
Sustainability 2023, 15, 7682 16 of 21

• In his urban designs, Schumacher develops the performance of the environment, its
spontaneous formation, environmental effects, and natural phenomena and concepts.
• It is based on mobility, formation, and continuity in nature. Cities are designed with
fractal geometry as a result of the repetition of natural forms such as self-organizing
evolution, biological growth, and development. He creates his themes by making use
of the geological situation and morphology of the cities.
• Dimension or space without exploiting the built environment; human movements
are designed with the unique centrality of the urban space by adhering to the social
interaction areas.
• In order to increase the centrality and unity in the city, different and various rich areas
are created on a micro-scale between the topographic layers with the harmony of the
pure forms of nature and the topography of the land. The distribution ratio in cities are
distributed according to the natural topographic structure and natural characteristics
of the city. Cities that are formed in successive waves with topographical features are
protected by preventing the deterioration of the environment through the logical use
of the land.

5. Conclusions
The biomimetic-referenced fractal concept of development in urban design and the
urban design approaches of Le Corbusier and Patrick Schumacher were compared with
meta-analysis and their design approach processes were examined. In this context, in the
present study, we:
• Address the processes of design approaches, new approaches, and the main reference
areas of these approaches;
• Evaluate sustainability in terms of the organism level, behavior level, ecosystem level,
and functional level, which are references to design based on the structural features of
Biomimesis;
• Compare Le Corbusier’s and Patrick Schumacher’s design approaches on the fractal
element of Biomimesis;
• Ask whether biomimesis as a design approach of nature studies in urban construction
can create sustainable and ecological urban environments.
The conceptual framework created in the study was addressed by comparing the
meta-analysis results on architectural and urban design examples. Urban design examples
by Le Corbusier and Patrick Schumacher were examined. The design approaches of fractal
codes in nature were analyzed by adhering to the analysis of fractal forms and the fiction
created in line with these approaches. It is important to be able to design holistic cities by
understanding and interpreting nature and biomimetics.
• Does biomimesis, as a design approach of nature studies in urban construction, create
sustainable and ecological urban environments?
The concept of biomimesis, which uses the dimensions of nature’s functions and
scales, enables the examination of structures and dynamics in nature with the opportunities
offered by biology and technology, modeling geometric forms in nature and fractal forms
that can be modeled with parametric designs. As a result of considering the models and
dynamics of nature, solutions should be produced for urban designs with fractal designs,
with the creation of low-density, self-sufficient, repetitive spaces that do not exceed their
own usage areas and can use self-sufficient energy resources. It is an inevitable fact that
this will contribute to the levels of biomimesis by designing fractal models by focusing on
the function added by the form rather than the form, based on the internal dynamics of the
living thing in nature seen in biomimetic designs.
Based on the dynamics of nature in line with the solutions produced (adhering to
fractal designs in biological growth, development, evolution, and self-organizing complex-
looking geometric urban utopias; functional integrity between the protection of nature and
urban technology, creating new systems and solutions with the functionality of nature,
Sustainability 2023, 15, 7682 17 of 21

providing healthy, peaceful, safe, and harmonious lives with nature without waging war
on the environment we live in, urban development by adhering to accessible distances in
different cities, and reaching the main transportation axes), by adding repetitive models
to ensure awareness it will be possible to prevent urban sprawl and to determine fractal
models by adhering to a balanced population structure of urban models and using common
living spaces more.
• Contribution to the social environment
While biomimetic levels work on an organism or ecosystem, the form and process
are the features of the organism that can imitate the ecosystem. It seeks to establish a
framework as a means to increase the regenerative capacity of the built environment
(repairing or restoring the functionality of damaged tissues and organs). It defines the
evolved biomimetic varieties based on the framework and identifies an effective approach
to improve the sustainability of the built environments. The framework under consideration
applies to all approaches. With the examination of biomimetic technologies, it is clear that
there is a level of imitation.
• Is biomimesis a reference for the approaches of design disciplines?
Considering the biomimetic levels and compact city models with fractals, which are
one of the dynamics of nature, the recycling of wastes is ensured by working like a living
thing as a result of direct examination of the genetic material obtained from environmental
samples (soil, water, human, etc.) at the organism level (imitation of living things) via the
metagenomic method.
• Urban design at biomimetic levels (Table 1)
The object designed in the dimension of behavior level (imitation of behavior and
relationship) works like an ecosystem, as the ventilation systems work thermally, with the
similarity of the material belonging to the living thing in nature, living style, and shelter
conditions in the macro–micro scale. These are the organism, behavior, ecosystem, and
functional levels. The organism level refers to a specific organism, such as a plant or animal,
and may involve mimicking some or all of the organism. The ecosystem level (ecosystem
mimicry), as the second level, mimics the behavior of living things, and is concerned with
translating an aspect of how an organism behaves or the wider context. The third level, the
behavioral level, is a common principle that allows all ecosystems to imitate and function
successfully. It adapts itself as a part of the system in nature and functions like an ecosystem
by converting renewable energy sources into energy that can be used by people, using
the common components formed in line with the materials it offers in the dimension of
the ecosystem. The fourth dimension consists of the functions of the levels, including all
levels in the functional level (the path followed, function) dimension (imitation of living
things, imitation of behavior and relationship, imitation of ecosystem). It has been seen
that biomimesis levels take place in architectural design, industrial product design, and
urban design, and in this context, its role in designs is discussed.
Cities that are designed with fractal form, which is one of the natural dynamics based
on biomimetics, play an important role in ensuring the continuity of urban space and the
interrelationships of urban parts. In this direction, instead of fraying or leaping form, it
is possible to control growth and prevent spread by actualizing urban development with
the fields accompanying existing urban areas. In the sustainability paradigm, protecting
rural/natural areas with the compact urban model, reducing urban infrastructure and costs,
increasing urban dynamism by decreasing car dependence and reducing private car use,
and reducing house and urban energy use provide social sustainability with interlaced
spaces based on bounds of combined usage.
• Biomimetic-focused fractal cities designed with all levels of biomimetics taken together
By examining the growth phase of the determined creature, it is observed that each
part grows differently from the other and produces dynamic shapes with fractal forms as it
Sustainability 2023, 15, 7682 18 of 21

grows. Modules should be developed in the direction of the measurement to be determined


based on living formations. Again, with the behavior level of the determined living
formations, the material of the built environment should be integrated into the ecosystem
so that it does not harm the environment. The design should be changed according to the
needs of the day. It should aim to provide flexibility to the whole urban planning area,
not just on the built environment between the modules. Within the use of organic gardens
and terrace roof methods in the directions of measures that will be determined in built
environments, the sustainability of living areas can be provided by enabling the protection
and increase of biodiversity. It is possible to participate in urban areas as a structured
environment that becomes self-sufficient by creating tropical areas with the terrace roof
method, contributing to the ecosystem (flora and fauna), and which prevents carbon release
by using clean energy
While the ideal city and/or city utopias which came up to the present day from the
beginning of the 20th century vary according to the technology and to the needs of the
period, they are merged at certain points. As a result, although they are designers of
different periods, by selecting their paths, they have designed urban models that recognize
sustainable, high-quality biodiversity. It is known that a second surface is created by
designing houses and cities on the surface of the world by human beings. These two
surfaces seem to have a dynamic interaction with each other.
In this study, we have emphasized that the analogical attitude is transformed by
change, starting from the design processes. The biomimetic-referenced fractal concept of
development in urban design and the urban design approaches of Le Corbusier and Patrick
Schumacher were compared with meta-analysis and their design approach processes were
examined. In this context, the present study has
• Addressed the processes of design approaches, new approaches, and the main refer-
ence areas of these approaches;
• Evaluated sustainability in terms of the organism level, behavior level, ecosystem level,
and functional level, which are references to the design from the structural features of
biomimesis;
• Compared the design approaches of Le Corbusier and Patrick Schumacher in terms of
their design approach to the fractal element of biomimesis;
• Asked whether biomimesis, as a design approach of nature studies in urban construc-
tion, creates sustainable and ecological urban environments.
The conceptual framework created in the study was answered by comparing the
results of the meta-analysis on architectural and urban design examples.
