Biophilic design is an approach to architecture and urban design that seeks to connect people with nature in an urban setting. The concept has at its core the idea that humans have an innate connection to nature and that direct or indirect exposure to natural elements such as sunlight, greenery, water, and other living organisms has a positive impact on our physical and mental well-being. Biophilic design strives to incorporate nature into the built environment through strategies such as: daylighting, green walls/roofs, natural ventilation, use of natural materials, and natural views of the landscape, to create healthier and more productive spaces.
