Bio (Meaning “Life”) and Philia (meaning “love of”)
Biophilic Design is an important component of recreating our urban cities to be beneficial, rather than cold and detrimental, to the people who live there.
While Sustainability measures our impact on the environment, Biophilic Design is the approach of measuring the impact our environment has on us. Our health, wellness, creativity, mood, and even healing are all impacted by where we live our lives.
From exposure to sunlight and views of nature, to natural elements such as plants being present, Biophilic Design is a crucial lens with which to view the world we want to create for future generations.
