Biophilic Design

Whether we like to admit it or not, we are creatures. We are a part of nature. Living in a way that doesn’t take nature and our natural state into account, is to do ourselves a grave disservice. Biophilic (affinity / love of the natural) is a mindset through which our environment to serve us, instead of work against us.

Biophilic Design recognizes that for the vast majority of our history as a species, Humankind lived in nature… a biome, not the artificial, manmade environments and dwellings we create to live in today. And instead of seeing nature as a primitive state that we must escape, sees our natural biome as somethinng our species is still in need of, and a key component of our mental and physical wellbeing .
