Biophilia is the concept that represents our innate connection to nature. Biophilic design aims to replicate natural elements within indoor environments to restore attention, reduce stress, and enhance creativity. However, recent controlled experiments have not demonstrated significant cognitive, mood, or creativity benefits associated with biophilic design compared to the effects observed when being physically present in nature. The effectiveness of various workplace designs has been questioned, with open concepts and playful spaces not yielding the expected positive outcomes, particularly in the post-pandemic context.
Biophilia represents our innate connection to nature, suggesting that incorporating natural elements into indoor spaces can enhance well-being and productivity.
Despite the popularity of biophilic design, recent controlled experiments showed no significant effects on cognitive functions, mood, or creativity compared to being outdoors.
