Abstract
Aims: Since earthquakes have high destructive effects on buildings, a structure can be stable and durable against the horizontal destructive forces as wind and earthquake those are the goals of high-rise architects and designer engineers. In this research, we seek to show the model of living nature that will lead us towards providing structural strength against the lateral force of earthquakes and reducing its seismically destructive effects.



Methods: The current research has been carried out by using a descriptive survey method. Statistical population, quality analysis by Delphi (Q) method of professional engineers notes and data measurement was done on the of 46 experts opinions in the field of architecture and structure by targeted non-random sampling method. The results of the survey have been analyzed by manual methods and statistical software (SPSS) in the analytical explanation of the main factors.



Finding: The results of the research show that the realization of high-rise building seismic stability would be achieved by the main four factors as: "naturalistic seismic architecture", "sustainable green architecture", "environmentally stable architecture" and "stable seismically geometry". It is possible as feasible by the main characteristics in the architectural design of the seismic bionic tower.



Conclusion: In the end, based on the resulting four exploratory strategies, the explanation of solutions that are appropriate to the research results, that is; High-rise seismically stable architecture with the pattern of living organisms, as an achievement in accordance with the demands and criteria obtained in the present research, are presented
