Biophilic design is an approach that incorporates natural elements and principles of nature into built spaces to enhance the well-being and productivity of occupants. Its role in environmental design is to promote sustainable and regenerative practices that mimic the natural environment and support the health of ecosystems. By utilizing biophilic design principles, environmental designers can create spaces that not only benefit human health and well-being but also reduce negative impacts on the environment, such as energy consumption and waste production. Biophilic design can also foster a greater connection and appreciation for nature, leading to a more sustainable mindset and greater ecological awareness. Overall, biophilic design plays an important role in environmental design by promoting a holistic approach that considers the needs of both people and the planet.
