Abstract

 
As our lives become more civilized, our association with nature has decreased. In any case, improvements in innovation and new frames of mind towards design, just as some exceptionally persuading researches, are prompting positive change, yet in some pilot projects. As the world is keeping on urbanizing; Biophilic design has an important role in establishing a linkage between nature and constructed environment. Biophilic design can diminish pressure, help human to be more creative and feel comfort. It enhances healing and improve well-being. Biophilic design has demonstrated its benefits in various context; such as improving working environment, encouraging children to learn and enhance health. This study focuses on the importance of biophilic design in healthcare environments. The study intends to define biophilic design through a literature review, highlights its effects on human being and its relevance to healing process. The theoretical part is followed by the investigation of an international case study of biophilic design for hospitals in terms of biophilic patterns, then the study will proceed in applying the biophilic patterns on another case study. The paper therefore concludes the importance of biophilic design in enhancing healing, and the possibility of incorporating biophilic design in health care environments providing innovative solutions to integrate nature in hospitals environments.
