Paper Title
BIOMATERIALS AND SUSTAINABILITY IN FUTURE ARCHITECTURE

Abstract
In the current century, the increase in the production-consumption cycle has led to the depletion of energy resources and an increase in environmental problems. The search for new materials to reduce energy use in production and minimize environmental waste after consumption has become important. Particularly in the construction sector, the search for new materials has changed design approaches and spatial configurations. The importance of renewable resources is emphasized for the new materials to be used. In this context, the construction sector has begun to turn towards sustainable, recyclable, and biodegradable materials to reduce its negative environmental impacts. The use of biomaterials is a crucial parameter in creating a sustainable building system. While scientists refer to the current age as the "Biological Age," designers aim to create a new future where buildings can grow, reintegrate into nature, and disappear. Designers of the Biological Age focus on developing biological materials using biomimicry to create environmentally friendly solutions. While the use of biomaterials is increasing in many fields, their applications in architecture are still limited. This study aims to increase awareness by exploring the architectural applications of biomaterials. The study includes a literature review, examines the advantages and disadvantages of various biomaterials, and evaluates the potential of biobased materials derived from agricultural and marine waste in the architectural field. Keywords - Bio-metarials, Sustainability, Negative Environment Impact
