BIOPHILIA I
O
Biophilia , a concept first popularized by edward o.wilson in 1984
,describe the innate relationship between the humans and nature,and

BIOPHILIC DESIGN I
O
In architecture ,biophilic design is a sustainable design strategy that P
incooperates reconnecting people with the natural environment.it may be H
seen as a necessary complement to green architecture ,which decreases the I
environmental impact of the built world but does not address human L
reconection with natural world.the challenge of biophilic design is to address I
these defincies of the contemporary building and landscape practice by C
establishing a frame work for the satisfying the experience of the nature

WHY BIOPHILIC DESIGN I
O
The architecture of modern universities has lessened students multisensory P
focus and engagement with nature. H
I
• The biophilic design concept has continued to development over the past L
decade to employ the conditions and elements of nature and has been I
implemented to promote physical,social ,intellectual and physical well C
being
A
• It signfically informs that the design of todays academic buildings to R
leverage the poential of productivity,self esteem and well being for C
knowledge seakers H
I
• It also help lower the negative ecological impact ad increases the T
operational efficiency of an institutional campus regarding eergyresource E
consumption and waste control C

NON-VISUAL CONNECTION WITH NATURE O
P
H
Stimulating our senses (sound,touch,taste,smell).one of the most undervalued of
I
the patterns according to browning ,ryan and clancy.design intention to include
L
the nature textures ,smell(like gren or ocean
I
breeze)sounds(birds,waterfall,rain,ocean waves)
