The Impact of Biophilic Design on Building Occupant Wellbeing

Abstract

With increasing urbanization, people are spending more time indoors, disconnected from nature. Biophilic design, which incorporates natural elements into the built environment, has been shown to improve mental well-being. This research paper will explore the impact of biophilic design on mental well-being in urban environments. It will review existing literature on biophilic design and mental health, and then present a case study of a building that incorporates biophilic design principles. The paper will conclude by discussing the potential benefits of biophilic design for improving mental well-being in cities.
