Reviving the park and green area by improving the connection of different functions to the park based on biophilic design principles is one of the advantages of the design. Based on the six parameters of biophilic design such as: color, water, air, sunlight, plants, natural materials, the green area will develop the quality of lives of the inhabitants, users, and occupants. The complex tries to use: A) Natural Shapes and Forms, B) Improved Light and Space, C) Place-Based Relationships, and D) Evolved Human-Nature Relationships. Following the biophilic design concepts, and sustainable guidelines enhances the project’s sustainability and energy efficiency in order to respond the challeng es of global warming and energy consumption by Minimizing the impervious footprint through green parking, green roofing and rainwater re-use. Facilitating public transportation by designing the stations in another approach to support sustainable design.

Life Style Along this iWalk, we try to propose a life style, which encourage people spend more time with nature, city, and each other.Based on the evidence based design principles results indicated a close relationship between the environmental design elements and human behavior. It has been hypothesized that better design will lead to better physically, psychologically, and emotionally outcomes both for patients and caregivers .
