The present research is based on design of animal species museum with bionic architectural approach. The research has been written after studying and analyzing museums and needs of its users and achievements which they make in reviving their heritage. In design process, goals such as achieving a space for close relation of people with nature and animals particularly rare species of Iran as symbols of nature, creating a scientific and recreational centre for spending leisure time of people usefully and converting boring show spaces to attractive show spaces have been considered. The present research emphasizes on protection of different animal species and showing them to the visitors better. In design of this complex, different global cases were analyzed and studied and finally indices were considered for designing animal species museum. In this research, the complex was designed inspired by nature and by utilising museum design standards and this complex has homogenous architecture with animal patterns in addition to observance of the global indices so that use can be overshadowed by the performance. The selected method of this research is qualitative research and historical research was selected considering classifications. In design of this museum, attempt was made to use bionic and sustainable architectural approach for better suggestion of use and utilisation of natural energies.
