DESIGNING WITH NATURE: BIOPHILIC STRATEGIES FOR SUSTAINABLE AND HUMAN-CENTERED URBAN HOSPITALITY
Abstract
The article investigates biophilic design as an architectural method which unites humans with nature through built environments. The article uses foundational theories by Erich Fromm, Edward O. Wilson, and Stephen R. Kellert to explain biophilia's psychological, biological and spatial aspects and their practical applications in sustainable design. The article examines the 14 biophilic design patterns through an extensive evaluation of the PARKROYAL on Pickering hotel in Singapore which demonstrates how nature-based architecture improves environmental performance alongside user experience and urban resilience.
