Abstract

By integrating natural elements into buildings, biophilic design enhances quality of life, well-being, and productivity. By using design to reconnect people with nature, this approach tackles urbanization and the dearth of natural experiences in everyday life. Although biophilic design has been studied in homes and workplaces, it has not yet been applied to therapeutic and meditative spaces. According to this study, biophilic principles can enhance stress, mental health, and emotion and cognition in these specialized habitats. This study looks at the effects of biophilic design on productivity and well-being in meditation and therapy spaces. Finding the natural elements that best encourage relaxation and mental clarity such as light, plants, natural materials, and biomorphic patterns—is one of the objectives. Provide useful guidelines for applying the concepts of biophilic design to environments used for meditation and therapy.
Biophilic features in indoor environments are investigated through case studies, observational analysis, and interviews. The well-being and interactions of users with natural elements are evaluated in therapy and meditation settings. The results are used to develop restorative therapeutic environment strategies.
