    Biophilic architecture aims to incorporate natural elements into building design to benefit human health and well-being. It draws on the innate human attraction to nature by bringing the outdoors in through the use of natural materials, daylight, plants, and biomimicry. The concept of biophilia was first coined in 1964 and has since gained recognition from the scientific community as studies have demonstrated the mental and physical benefits people experience from interacting with nature.

    BIOPHILIA

    BIOPHILIA literally means a love of life or living things

    We have an intuitive and deeply ingrained attraction to nature, and a biological need for
    contact with the natural world.

    Our physical and mental well-being depends on continued engagement with the natural
    environment.
    The word biophilia was first used by a psychologist called
    Erich Fromm in 1964.
    Fromm described it as the passionate love of life and all
    that is alive.
