In this study, the semantic relationship of lexicons from the architectural design domain and function words frequently used in the bioinspired design domain were quantitatively extracted. Even though bioinspired design for the architecture domain has a lot of possibility of use, it is not comparably accessible because the design supportive systems were focused on engineering design domain. Therefore, the semantic relatedness between function words from the engineering domain and lexicons from the architectural domain were quantified in order to develop a lexicon based biological system search tool. The lexicons were extracted from the texts of the International Building Code and natural language processing techniques supported the task. And the semantic relatedness between the lexicons and function words were quantified by the semantic network analysis using the WordNet system.
