**4. Conclusions**

Biomimicry is a novel approach, and there has been very little research carried out in this area. The increased number of recently published articles demonstrates that there has been notable research in this area. Challenges in energy and climate change have led researchers to establish nature-based designs that demonstrate the importance of biomimicry in today's world. The analysis of the WoS database revealed that, in recent years, there has been notable growth in the number of publications on this topic. Germany, the United Kingdom, and Australia have the most significant influence on biomimicry research. The University of Stuttgart has the greatest number of publications and citations. According to the detailed analysis of the papers, it was found that most of the studies focus on building envelopes to control various environmental factors through a problem-oriented approach. This review of articles on nature-inspired architectural studies has shown that architecture, biology, and technology are deeply entwined, and multidisciplinary studies are now inevitable.

According to these limited findings, it was found that further study in biomimicry is needed. However, in addition to the increasing trend of studies conducted in recent years, it was found that subject-oriented studies have also expanded. Based on this analysis of the studies, the systematic use of biomimicry can provide researchers with new solutions for energy-efficient architectural designs.
