BIOPHILIC DESIGN

• BIOPHILIA – THE HUMAN TENDENCY TO INTERACT OR BE CLOSELY

ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER FORMS OF LIFE IN NATURE.

• BIOPHILIC DESIGN IS AN APPROACH TO ARCHITECTURE THAT SEEKS

TO CONNECT BUILDING OCCUPANTS MORE CLOSELY TO NATURE.

• BIOPHILIC DESIGNED BUILDINGS INCORPORATE THE FOLLOWING

FOR A PRODUCTIVE & HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT:
• NATURAL LIGHTING
• VENTILATION
• LANDSCAPE FEATURES

ENERGY EFFICIENCY & HEALTH BENEFITS

• LIGHTING - A SYSTEM THAT IMITATES NATURAL LIGHT OR

INCORPORATES A COMBINATION OF NATURAL & ARTIFICIAL
LIGHTING, CAN HELP MAINTAIN THE CIRCADIAN RHYTHM OF USERS.

• VENTILLATION – A ROOM FULL OF FRESH AIR (AS FRESH AS A

GARDEN) CAN HELP USERS BREATHE BETTER, AND HELPS SAVE
MONEY ON HVAC.

• A SENSE OF LIGHT & SHADOW CAN INSTILL A SENSE OF AWE &

FEAR. A LITTLE BIT OF MYSTERY.

• VIEWING NATURAL PATTERNS CAN HELP USERS RELAX, AND

BECOME MORE PRODUCTIVE & CREATIVE.
