Sumario:Biomimicry corresponds to the conscious emulation of nature and provides opportunities for the insertion of biological knowledge in human projects. In this perspective, the article aimed to examine the interfaces between design andbiomimicry through a systematic review of national literature. For that, the descriptors "design" AND "biomimética" were applied in the Google Scholar database, adopting the tool of Meta Analytical Consolidated Approach. Thus, asearch was conducted from 1990 to 2019, initially totaling 211 works. Taking into account the number of citations, six contributions were selected to illustrate recent research (between 2016 and 2019). It was observed that the recurringthemes were: circular economy; material sciences; natural forms and processes; digital prototyping; and perceptions of the built space. The prominent approaches corresponded to projects in design, architecture and engineering based on ecosystem interactions. It is concluded that nature represents a vast repository of knowledge and inspiration for designers. Consequently, biomimicry deserves to be investigated given its potential to improve the quality of life andstimulate the conservation of the biosphere.
