Biophilia...what is it? /  by Peter Corke

Biophilia literally translates to “love of life”

It’s all about the innate relationship us humans have to interact with the natural world around us!

Is biophilia a catch phrase or something more?…Is it just a trend?…Why does it matter?

  • It recognizes how important the connection is between humans and the natural world.

  • The natural world has a positive effect on our mental health.

  • Green spaces can reduce stress and improve memory and creativity.

  • Biophilic Design is a concept, it increases the connection of the natural world to humans!

    Let us help you get closer to Nature!…
