Biophilia hypothesis

But to answer your question, it's a more comprehensive way of framing cities.

Biophilia and biophilic cities is really very much about putting nature at the center.

When I wrote Green Urbanism, it was meant to be very comprehensive.

There are chapters on urban transportation, on energy transition, production in cities and energy issues on, on nature.

It might sound a bit ridiculous this, but for me, biophilia was actually about accessibility.

I can really understand that when you talk about accessibility, people often think about mobility issues and how people can get in and around the building for me.

accessibility was about more kind of neurologically how can people really kind of access a building and feel really comfortable feel themselves and feel really happy in in that space and that's where Biophilia for me came from it was just about the conditions that make people feel really, really comfortable in an environment.

It wasn't about a specific this item or that item or the other item.

It was actually just about taking a step back and thinking what really makes people feel really good somewhere.

Biophilic, for me, means bringing the – it is the nature.

Biophilia means, like, nature.

Biophilic design, when we are talking about the biophilic design, it means you are bringing the nature in.

And the Green Mood mission and as a brand, we are becoming and we are right now a practical biophilic design tool for interior designers.

The gentle rustling of leaves, the sound of birdsong, the feel of grass beneath our feet, all of these sensory experiences help us connect to the present moment, reducing mental clutter and promoting a sense of peace and balance.

Biophilia, the innate human connection to nature, also plays a role in the emotional benefits of spending time outdoors.

Humans are naturally drawn to nature, and when we immerse ourselves in it and we experience a sense of belonging and connectedness to something greater than ourselves, This sense of connectedness has been shown to foster emotional resilience, improve mood and greater life satisfaction.

Nature also has a unique ability to promote mindfulness, the practice of being fully present in the moment.
