| dc.description | This book immodestly aspires to help mend the prevailing breach existing in our society between the modern built environment and the human need for contact with the natural world. In this regard, the chapters in this volume focus on the theory, science, and practice of what we call biophilic design, an innovative approach that emphasizes the necessity of maintaining, enhancing, and restoring the beneficial experience of nature in the built environment. Although we present biophilic design as an innovation today, ironically, it was the way buildings were designed for much of human history. Integration with the natural environment; use of local materials, themes and patterns of nature in building artifacts; connection to culture and heritage; and more were all tools and methods used by builders, artisans, and designers to create structures still among the most functional, beautiful, and enduring in the world. | en_US |
