How does Biophilic Design improve our work lives? Why is human-centric design so crucial in the modern age? This slide explores some basic benefits of Biophilic Design.
2. Biophilic Design is the incorporation
of natural elements within a space to
satisfy our innate desire to
be connected to nature
and increase the general
wellness, creativity, and
productivity of the people
inside that space.

INDOOR
LIFESTYLE
We spend 80% of our
lives indoors.
Natural elements, such as
plants, reverse the negative

exposure to sunlight and
outdoor environments and
purify the air of toxins.

6. Acoustics in the workspace
are an often overlooked issue.
Plants and Moss have natural sound
absorbtion properties, reducing echo (aka
distractions) in shared spaces.
