BIOPHILIC DESIGN IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE
Keywords:
biophilia, design, landscape architecture, interior architectureAbstract
As urbanization accelerates, the demand for sustainable and health-conscious design in the built environment has led to the prominence of biophilic design—a methodology rooted in the deep connection between humans and nature.
This paper delves into the complex integration of biophilic design principles in the realm of landscape architecture and interior architecture, in order to elucidate their collective impact on individual well-being, productivity and overall quality of life. Also to elaborate the concepts, principles and practical aspects of biophilic design as an innovative and responsible approach in the field of both landscape and interior architecture. With a focus on understanding the biophilic relationship between humans and nature, this paper examines the theoretical and practical dimensions of biophilic design, as well as its impact on the environment and humans themselves.
This paper will synthesize key findings, highlighting the imperative for architects and designers to prioritize biophilic design principles in their work. The various elements and principles of biophilic design are also analyzed. By providing a holistic perspective on the application and impact of biophilic design in both landscape and interior architecture, this research aims to guide future design practices towards creating more sustainable, healthier and enriched built environments.
