What do you know about Biophilic Design?

• 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.
