Biophilic Design: Lifestyle or Style of Life?

Mukta Latkar-Talwalkar

Abstract: Human beings have an inherent need to affiliate with nature. Biophilic design seeks to satisfy this innate need to associate and connect with nature even when surrounded by a built aesthetic habitat. The author strongly argues that incorporating elements of nature in everyday activities has been a way of life and an inherent aspect of the Indian cultural systems and has proven benefits and advantages on the human wellbeing and his/her performance.
