Design is one of the most complex human mental activities; many design theorists believe that design activity is "problem-solving". The designer goes through a process called the architectural design process from the time he or she faces the problem to the final idea and design. nature inspiration is one of the ways to come up with ideas and achieve the architectural design. Among the research conducted in this field at the international level, the existing knowledge in the field of biomimetic is not small and its examples are increasing. This is in the case that in architectural design, less attention has been paid to the process of architectural design inspired by nature. This research intends to formulate the stages of the architectural design process through analogy to nature. There are two main questions in this research: 1) what are the stages of the design problem-based process by analogy with nature? 2) What is the relationship between the architectural design processes defined by thinkers and the design process through analogy to nature? The method of this research is a logical argument that according to library studies and using analysis and description of studies over the problem-solving stages in parenting psychology, the problem-solving process of design and their adaptation to the problem-solving process It deals with an analogy to nature. This study finds that problem-solving through analogy to nature is one of the exploratory ways to solve the problem of architectural design, which is called problem-based Biomimetic and a process can be defined for it. The adaptation of existing architectural design processes to problem-based biomimetic processes has led to the introduction of problem-based biomimetic design processes in architecture.
 

Keywords: biomimetic, problem-based, architectural design process, nature inspiration, analogy to nature.
