What is Biophilic Architecture Design?

Biophilic Design is referred to as the architecture of life because nature used to be all around us. But the way we have designed our cities and suburbs, it’s not around us as much anymore. The design has taken away the environment and the nature we have known to love. We are now realizing this, and turning more and more to green architecture which is replacing some the nature we’ve cut out.

Biophilic design helps with bringing nature back into our daily lives which help us create a natural environment to live, work, and learn in. As humans, we spend most of our days inside and it’s essential that we bring the outside inside, even in small and subtle ways. Some of the direct experience that biophilic design brings is light, air, water, plants, weather, natural landscapes, and ecosystems.

Is Biophilic Design Effective?

Nature and environments that are similar to nature have been proven to positively affect the overall health and well-being of everyone. In particular, the corporate world, nature and plants have been linked to improving productivity. As people start to feel drained, sick or burnt out their productivity will decline as well as lost work time increases. The cost of this? In the United States, this will cost an employer about $2,074 per employee.

The Benefits of Biophilic design

Biophilic design helps us with the way we work, feel, and create. Any design with nature leaves us feeling inspired, boosts our productivity, and even give a strong sense of belonging. Any small feeling of nature in a workplace has major benefits. It will change how employees feel when they come into the office, how happy they are, how creative they can be, and how productive they are.
