Discover the importance of reconnecting with nature in our urbanized world. Learn how to incorporate biophilia into your designs. Perfect for beginners and professional designers.
As we progress in this urbanised world of globalisation , the connection to nature is gradually diminishing.
Human beings are being genetically mutated in order to adjust to the new urban world of concrete.
The hustle bustle of the city leaves us no time to miss the green pastures of nature.
This Morphogenesis of the human kind has its negative impact not only in the physical presence but also the mental capacity.
It is a proven fact that a human being feels the calm and quiet of a starry night very soothing and peaceful.
No person can deny that a day out in the park or a walk in the fresh air has a relaxed effect.
Same way there are many such natural phenomenons which by default make a very happy physiological impact on a person.
The stress that is added to a person’s mind due to work , has a direct impact on the family or health of the individual.
In earlier days , before the era of urbanisation and skyscrapers , humans lived a life in tune to nature .
A man would start his day as early as the sun rises and rest as soon as the sun sets.
Family dinners would be huge gatherings , animals and livestock lived in close proximity, farmlands were physically mowed and sowed,”.
Unlike now living in the city schedule has a series of unwanted stress from the fact of commuting to an hour away for work , in trains , cars etc and then being holed up in an office which is completely shut as tight as a box and finally return back travelling the same distance to a home again so small that a person can barely stretch.
Here , the point of Biophilia is the amalgamation of nature into the dwelling in a very subtle way , not overdoing it nor urbanising it.
As designers we should actively participate in the clients needs and try to give them options of feeling connected to Mother Nature even as they sit in their own dwellings , be it an office space , or maybe their own home.
