3. BIOPHILIC DESIGN INTERVENTIONS

Biophilic design is represented in the thesis as an architectural framework that weaves the patterns and forms of nature into the build environment to strengthen the human –nature connection.

Biophilic design is executed in places such as co-working spaces and recreational areas which would serve as common interactive spaces for both children and old age orphans.

The concept of providing healing garden is also an attempt of intervening biophilic design aspects in this project.

There are a number of benefits for using biophilic design in this project that are list below: • Scattered, clustered, varied vegetation • Overlooking landscape • Blurring the boundaries between indoors and outdoors • Dynamic and diffuse light • Natural scents • Proximity to water • Use of natural and local materials • Shelter and privacy
