CONCEPT
Biophilic Design can reduce stress, improve cognitive function and creativity, improve our well-being and expedite healigh. The design helps our innate and learned desire to be able to see beyond our immediate surroundings, our fascination with the slightly dangerous or unknown;obscured views and revelatory moments.
Experiences of natural environments provide greater emotional restoration with lower instances of tension, anxiety, anger, fatigue, confusion and total mood disturbance than urban environments with limited characteristics of nature.
Strong routine connections with nature can provide opportunities for mental restoration, during which our higher cognitive functions can sometimes take a break. As a result, our capacity for performing focused task is greater than someone with fatigued cognitive resources.
Physiological responses to environmental stressors can be buffered through design, allowing for the restoration of bodily resources before system damage occues.
