Biophilic Design | Information & Inspiration

A Research Paper:

" 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design articulates the relationships between nature, human biology and the design of the built environment so that we may experience the human benefits of biophilia in our design applications. This paper moves from research on biophilic responses to design application as a way to effectively enhance health and well-being for individuals and society.”
