The goal setting of technical development tasks and the uncovering of contradictions at the level of invention form the conditions for problem‐solving. By including bionics in the construction process, the technical designer and/or product developer receives a rich arsenal of efficient biological structures as a suggestion for the problem solving. The way in which living nature can be used to help in the search for solutions is demonstrated using the example of the thermal insulation of house fronts.
