abstract⁄Through the formation of biochemical information networks natural materials possess efficient processes of selforganization, adaptability, regeneration and decomposition. This performative excellence has lead science to draw behavioral models from nature implementing biomimmicry Benyus 1998 in the pursuit of material systems optimization. Design disciplines influenced by this course are integrating living organisms as models of efficiency through bionic systems ever more into their discourse. Architecture, influenced by this tendency, is becoming progressively more aware of the vast benefits that biomimetics can yield particularly in the development of ecologically sensitive systems. Yet, the emerging incorporation of bionics into architecture is differing largely to that within the sciences by centering almost exclusively in form geometrical pattern generation. This paper analyzes a rising material design research methodology implementing biomimetics matterform parametrics based on biophysical properties’ data. Specific study of the incorporation of broadscalar scientific imaging into the formulation of explorative parametric grammar for the development of material systems is analyzed through a biosynthetic polymer based wall system SugarWall, GenslerGutierrez 2006b. The incorporation of broad scalar imaging and material interdependencies is propelling the emergence of new programming tactics that will affect biomaterial systems architectural research.
