Biophilic Design


Source: https://hommes.studio/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/11.jpg

Who doesn't appreciate the beauty of nature? Even the most introverted person on the planet, who appears to love their home more than anything else in the world, would benefit from a trip to the park now and again. The reason for this is that we humans have a basic urge to feel connected to nature. Biophilic design is a human-centered approach to interior and architectural design that emphasizes people's relationship to nature. The notion of biophilia is used in biophilic design to incorporate natural aspects into manmade spaces. Biophilia means "love of life" or "love of living things." Nature is the primary inspiration for biophilic designers. The following are some of the elements that are frequently present in Biophilic design:


1. The first step is to bring the outside in. Bringing nature into your house can help us feel more connected to the natural world we live in. Plants aren't the only thing that exists in nature. Bringing the outside in can include things like building a skylight to allow natural light into the house, installing a fountain in your garden, or adding a pond.

2. Patterns Found in Nature Biomimicry, the practice of replicating patterns and forms found in nature, is used in biophilic design. Symmetries, spirals, stripes, fractals, and other natural patterns are examples. Imitating these natural patterns in your home is another method to incorporate biophilic into your home.

3. Using Natural Resources Wood and stone are preferred over synthetic materials such as plastic or polished metal in biophilic design. Natural materials are not only attractive to look at, but they may also be a sustainable furniture option.

4. Greenery abounds One of the simplest ways to make your area feel more alive is to add vegetation. You can choose from a wide variety of plants to adorn your home. From the ones that are hardy and don't require much attention to others that demand a green thumb to keep up with. Plants can be displayed in a variety of ways in your house. One of the options is to buy a floor-to-ceiling shelf that you can turn into a green wall by filling it with little potted plants. The alternative option is to create a partition with a trailing plant on a rack. It's entirely up to you how you want to use the space.








We can gain certain advantages simply by incorporating biophilic design into our dwellings. The following are some of the advantages:

1. Recuperation

Healthcare facilities, in particular, have been found to minimize patients' postoperative time by being directly connected to nature through biophilic design.

Circadian Rhythm is a rhythm that occurs daily.

Circadian Rhythm, often known as 24-hour cycles, is a component of the human body's internal clock. Less artificial light from lamps can help you feel more relaxed and less stressed by regulating your circadian cycle.

3. Decreased anxiety

Regular exposure to the outdoors may assist to drop heart rate and blood pressure, both of which are linked to lower stress levels.
