Biophilic design is based on the principle of incorporating natural elements and materials, such as vegetation, sunlight, air, water, and other organic features, into the built environment. In architecture programs, the role of biophilic design is to create sustainable and healthy buildings that maximize human comfort and well-being by promoting a relationship with nature. This approach has several benefits for occupants, including stress reduction, improved productivity, and increased creativity, among others. Architects can use biophilic design principles, such as daylighting, green roofs, and natural ventilation, to create functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces that enhance the human experience. By emphasizing the relationship between humans and nature in the design process, architecture programs can help create environmentally responsible and sustainable buildings.
