Biophilic Design
Biophilia is a ‘love of life or living systems.’ It’s our inherent human connection to the natural world. In an urban world of technology and industrial architecture, this fundamental connection can sometimes feel all but lost. Biophilic design is an innovative way to harness this affinity in order to create natural environments for us to live, work and learn. By consciously including nature in interior or architectural design, we are unconsciously reconnecting, bringing the great outdoors into our constructed world.
As pioneers in sustainability, Interface advocates biophilic design and knows it is critical to human health to include natural systems and processes in our buildings and constructed landscapes. And, continued research has proven the positive effects that nature or environments that mimic nature have on overall health and well-being. Our aim is to elevate a biophilic approach higher on the global design agenda.
