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.

Introspective

Introspective is an idea that highlights the importance of interaction with others in the community while also taking the time to be alone to reflect. It is defined as, “observing one’s mental state and examining one’s soul.” Being introspective is essential to reaching a high level of confidence and well-being.
