Abstract

Eco-empathic design is a new approach to architecture and urban planning that seeks to create built environments that are both sustainable and hu-man-centered. This approach is based on the understanding that the built envi-ronment can have a profound impact on our brains and behavior. The research explores the potential of eco-empathic design to improve our health, well-being, and productivity. The paper argues that by incorporating natural elements into the built environment, such as plants, natural light, and views of nature, we can create environments that are more calming, relaxing, and productive. The paper also explores the challenges and opportunities of implementing eco-empathic design in different cultural and environmental contexts. The study discussed examples of eco-empathic design from different areas of the world. These exam-ples demonstrate the potential of eco-empathic design to create built environments that are both sustainable and beneficial to human health and well-being. The paper concludes by calling for more research and adoption of eco-empathic design principles in order to create healthier, happier, and more productive societies.
