Biophilic Design : What is it & Why Does it Matter ?

A quick and brief introduction to biophilic design. 

What is biophilic design ?

Studies are showing that we spending the majority of our time indoors. However, the time we spend indoors is generally negatively effecting our health, productivity, and wellness.

Biophilic design refers to design that revolves around incorporating nature within our indoors and neighborhoods.

Biophilic design is also categorized into three main categories : nature in the space, nature of the space, and natural analogues where these principles can be implemented on designs of various scales from indoor spaces to neighborhoods and cities.

The three categories of biophilic design

The first category is nature in the space implies direct interaction and multi-sensory interaction with nature. Whereas nature of the spaces refers to elements that mimic spatial configurations in nature such as refuge, and mystery. The third category is natural analogues and it implies indirect hints of nature within our spaces. These could be in the form of nature-inspired patterns or shapes that mimic nature.

Biophilic design could sound expensive and unrealistic upfront, however, the past year has shown just how important it is to have active and engaging indoors as well as our connection to nature.

Hopefully, as the world eases lockdowns once more, and we slowly head back to our offices and schools, we will start to see changes in how we live and how we design our indoors and outdoors to remain safe, healthy, and engaged.
