Biophilia
Design approaches that integrate natural elements and living systems into built environments.
Biophilia explores how designers can incorporate nature into architecture and spaces to improve human wellbeing. The concept recognizes the inherent human connection to natural systems and applies it through material choices, living elements, and environmental design strategies.The community examines projects ranging from residential abodes with integrated nature to institutional spaces like wellness centers and apothecaries. Work includes biophilic sanctuaries addressing specific climates, adaptive reuse of industrial sites with living systems, and comprehensive approaches to human-nature integration in the built environment.
