[Biophilia](), the term popularized by biologist E.O. Wilson, describes our genetically hardwired need for natural environments. Since humans evolved in nature, our bodies and minds only function optimally when immersed in it. This isn't abstract theory—Roger Ulrich's 1984 clinical study proved hospital patients viewing trees healed faster and needed less pain medication than those facing brick walls.
Modern buildings often sever this essential connection, compromising our wellbeing. Biophilic design bridges this gap by embedding nature's patterns, natural material complexity, "prospect and refuge" in spatial arrangements.
