BIOPHILLIC ARCHITECTURE

B
BIOPHILIA I
O
Biophilia , a concept first popularized by edward o.wilson in 1984
,describe the innate relationship between the humans and
P
nature,and concerns the need we have to be continually connecte H
to nature .pllenty of reseaarch confirms this human preferences I

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

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

VISUAL CONNECTION WITH NATURE O

Views at nature,natural system and processes (view at the gardens ,living

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

breeze)sounds(birds,waterfall,rain,ocean waves)
