description The approach referring to a new material architecture based on bionics, addresses a systemic component in favor of its efficiency, usability, ergonomics, experiences and function. In this sense, the Italian designer Carmelo Di Bartolo proposes as part of his philosophy, the consideration of design of materials integrating bionics, through a discourse and practice that values nature in the design process. Consider the product integrating a material-based approach as a suggestive and communicative element, or as a constitutive part of an efficient structure. The teachings of Di Bartolo are reflected in experiences developed in undergraduate and graduate education, as well as research in Chile. A reference being exemplified in the WINNER project that proposes the design of a dynamic facade based on the analysis of functional principles of nature, responsive to the solar energy capture.
