Abstract

Egypt is an urbanizing faster country than anywhere else in the world as a consequence of overpopulation and land shortage in urban cities. The tall buildings were meant as a solution to exploit the land and helped to separate us from the surrounding environment. So, we are not being provided with the nature contact we require in order to meet our innate bio-philic needs. Offices of recent era were designed as open floor plan to be self-sufficient, but that affects negatively and creates more physical and physiological problems related to our human being. The workplace is not just a container in which work is carried out, it also reflects on our health and work itself. The intent of research is to articulate the benefits of integrating bio-philia in our office building spaces through analysis case studies from national office buildings where we could increase productivity and performance of workers. Determining the quality of office buildings in terms of health, comfort and well-being (healthy building) added to that is quality of building amenities.
