There are several ways that natural textures can be incorporated into biophilic buildings to create a more nature-inspired environment. Some of the common ones are:
1. Use of Natural Materials: The building can be constructed with natural materials such as wood, stone, and clay. These materials can then be left exposed to showcase their natural textures.
2. Biophilic Walls: Biophilic walls can be created by using living plants or moss to cover the walls. These walls not only add natural textures but also help to improve air quality in the building.
3. Natural Flooring: Flooring materials like cork, bamboo, and hardwood can add a natural texture to the building.
4. Water Features: Incorporating a water feature like a waterfall, fountain, or pond into the building can add a natural texture and sound.
5. Natural Lighting: The use of natural light can help to create a connection with the outdoors. Large windows and skylights can be used to bring in natural light and add a natural texture to the building.
Overall, incorporating natural textures into buildings can help to create a calming and relaxing environment that is beneficial to the wellbeing of the occupants.
