Biophilia (noun) = 1. Love of Nature 2.
The idea that humans possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life
It is important to remember that we, as humans, depend on the world’s natural environment. Instead of the urban realm being a part of the natural environment, cities have inundated the environment, which hinders a person’s psyschological health.
This project strives for an affordable alternative to multi-family housing today. Biophilic design aims at solving the energy crisis that plagues many cities and residents, such as the high electrical bill and the scarcity of locally-grown fresh food. Biophilic design does not just reduce the impact of living on lower income families; it also decreases stress levels and increases the health of individuals.
