The Three Pillars Of Biophilic Design
Biophilic design enhances the human experience by reconnecting us to the natural world through thoughtful, evidence-based strategies. Grounded in three core pillars, biophilia transforms spaces into healthier, more inspiring environments!
Direct Experience of Nature
Engage the senses with real natural elements, such as:
• Lush live plants
• Calming soundscapes (e.g., birdsong or flowing water)
• Dynamic aquascapes like fountains or fish tanks
Indirect Experience of Nature
Evoke nature through representations and cues, including:
• Organic fractal patterns
• Earth-toned colors and natural palettes
• Tactile, nature-inspired textures and materials
Experience of Space and Place (Nature of the Built Environment)
Shape emotional and behavioral responses through:
• Spatial design that supports comfort, movement, and wellbeing
• Placemaking that fosters connection, identity, and belonging
