BIOPHILIA HYPOTESIS

Reestablishing a connection to nature through biophilic design will promote a change in human behavior to care for the natural environment rather than furthering the degradation.

There is a reciprocal relationship between nature and human processes to be understood through a human ecosystem model. Understanding this relationship will allow us to integrate nature into a space to effectively increase well-being and influence positive interaction with nature.

Once we understand how to best i ncorporate biophilia i nto design, we can use transformational ecology principles to guide human behavior towards more sustainable action
