UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT OF
BIOPHILIC DESIGN
A WAY TO RECONNECT WITH NATURE
W
hat is Biophilic design? Biophilic design is simply a way to incorporate nature into design. It is mainly found in architecture, interior design, and in outdoor urban spaces. To put it simply, it’s a way to blur the divide between modern civilization and nature itself. Real or artificial, everyone is craving a little more greenery in their day to day as we seek to bring the outside in. After the chaos of the last few years, it’s no wonder that there has been an increase in demand for natural elements in interior design as they help to ground our space and add a sense of calm year-round. Create a healthier living and working environment, increase your productivity, creativity and give yourself an overall happier environment.
