Biophilic Design Integration In Primary School Fosters Holistic Development In Pre-Teen
Main Article Content
Abstract
The term "biophilic design" is derived from the Greek word "biophilia," with meaning "love of nature." The human race has lost its connection to nature as a result of growing urbanization and modernization. The idea of biophilic design has grown in popularity recently because it can improve well-being and promote holistic development in people of all ages. The incorporation of nature into our constructed environment is crucial because it can activate physiological mechanisms that promote healing. The study focuses on the notion of biophilic design and the key developmental changes that pre-teen experience in primary school. Along with their interdependence, it also addresses the close relationship between the human body and its environment. The objective is to gauge knowledge of biophilic design and its effect on preteens' cognitive development because they represent the next generation. The study includes case study results, academic articles on biophilic design and its use, as well as publications on the consequences of biophilic design. This review article emphasizes the value of implementing biophilia and its design principles in elementary schools. The research focuses on the biophilic design ideas and components that can promote pre-teen (age group 5–12) development. Finally, it will offer a few design principles and tactics that might help schools adopt biophilic design.
