Throughout history, man has turned to biology to solve his design problems. Today, we face a new stage in design that demands that we take care of nature and its non-renewable resources. From this standpoint, this work conducts an interdisciplinary investigation aimed to identify and classify the concepts that define environmentally friendly architectural projects. It studies paradigmatic cases that position biology and digital systems as a reference barycenter, and that analyzes their application in the field of design. Based on several examples, we attempt to verify results that demonstrate that we stand before a spirit of overcoming, a bio-learning that contributes to the benefit and development of a more human environment. A new design model to conceive architecture in its relationship with nature.
