8 Conclusion

The purpose of this work is reflected in the research that deals with the shape of the C. patula flower in the field of biomimetics and generative design. In the process of the work we were guided by the idea that geometry represents a universal analog model that describes and simulates relationships in the structure of the system of space and nature. Virtual frames of the C. patula flower is used in order to achieve a structure that can be integrated into the physical world. Instead of contrast, it is necessary to provide and establish a link between the artificial structures and the environment, which requires the development of knowledge regarding different levels of complexity of space, time, structure, behavior, processes and geometry.

In this paper the starting points on which we rely are biological references that lead us to solutions that possess important characteristics. The structure of the flower forms the geometric basis that can be used to form different geometric patterns. This geometric basis is a design pattern, with a biological reference of the C. patula, which the future model will carry. Manipulation of this pattern takes place through a creative process that occurs in the domain of generative design. In this process, the basic pattern evolves, changing its former appearance, but not its origin. The shape of the flower model is represented by a set of spatial curves, characteristic of the species, which form the surface of the model where the relationship between the parameters and the facade of the model is direct. The obtained flower model represents an approximation of the elements that we encounter in nature because its performance is limited by the geometric transfer of elements from a photograph where, in addition to the variation of proportions in nature, there are discrepancies between the shape and the size of the elemental structure. The model, as a geometric pattern of the natural flower structure, depicts its shape and spatial characteristics. Through further manipulation of the model the process of the transformation of the basic parameters takes place, which results in the change of the facade of the model. Depending on the needs of the user, this transformation can have practical applications. This biomimetical approach used for biodesign represents novelty in education still very actual and should be more explored and could be used in many different areas trough interdisciplinary education.
