    The document outlines Stephen Kellert's six principles of biophilic design: 1) incorporating natural environmental factors like vegetation, water, and natural materials, 2) using natural shapes and patterns to symbolically connect to nature, 3) stimulating the senses with natural patterns and processes, 4) maximizing daylighting and varied interior lighting and space, 5) rooting projects in their local context through indigenous materials, and 6) recreating sensations of human-nature connections within the built environment. The principles provide a framework for designers to establish emotional connections and resonance with occupants beyond mere functionality.

    Biophilic Design Principles (Stephen Kellert)

    1. Environmental Factors
     Vegetation
     Water
     Sunlight
     Natural Materials
    2. Natural Shapes and Forms
     Naturally occurring shapes and patterns
     Creating symbolic connections to nature
    3. Natural Pattern and Processes
     Structures and laws found in natural world
     Stimulating senses with evolving materials
    4. Light and Space
     Daylighting
     Varied lighting
     Interior volumes to mimic outdoor experiences
    5. Placed-Based Relationships
     Rooting projects in local contexts
     Using indigenous materials
     Capture the essence of the surroundings
    6. Evolved Human-Nature Relationships
     Recreating sensations on connection to nature within the built environment

    Environmental Features, Natural Shapes and Forms, and Natural Patterns and Processes, designers lay the
    groundwork for projects that not only meet functional needs but also establish emotional connections and
    resonate deeply with occupants.
