Abstract
Popularized by E.O Wilson in 1984, biophilic design looks to bridge the connection between the built environment and the natural world. This connection is more than adding decorative greenery to a space. Biophilic design looks at the human experience, emotions, and environment to curate an interior fit to enhance the occupant’s well-being.
