dc.description.abstract Environmental aspects are crucial in designing sustainable buildings in relation to context. World is suffering from climate change due to green-house gas emissions. The present work shows the importance of teaching future architects how to implement biomimetic approach as a diverse sustainable way in architectural design. It is intended to clarify potentials of biomimicry as design generators in the course �Biomimicry in Architecture'ASE433ba-Fall2017 for 4th year architectural students, MSA University, Cairo. This is achieved by analysing the process of teaching biomimicry, staff and students perception. A questionnaire was distributed among students to evaluate their gained experience of applying biomimicry concept. 18 students attended the course and responded to the questionnaire. Their perception was measured through statistical analysis of questionnaire results. Students enthusiastically applied biomimetic principles in their designs. Incorporating biomimetic approach in architectural design will raise awareness of its importance in professional practice through students exposure to existing biomimicry projects. 2019 Ain Shams University en_US
