Introduction. What is biophilia and what does it mean for buildings and spaces? -- The scientific and business case for biophilic design -- Biophilia in the design process -- Intimate scale: biophilic arts and craftsmanship -- In the home: cherished residences -- In the school: supportive learning -- In the store: enticing retail -- In the office: focused and creative workspaces -- In the hotel: exceptional guest experiences -- In the hospital: effective healing environments -- In the factory: productive manufactories -- In the community: convivial civic spaces -- In the urban landscape: restorative pocket parks and promenades -- Closing thoughts.
"Written by a leading proponent of biophilic design, this is the only practical guide to biophilic design principles for interior designers. Describing the key benefits, principles and processes of biophilic design, Nature Inside illustrates the implementation of biophilic design in interior design practice, across a range of international case studies - at different scales, and different typologies. Starting with the principles of biophilic design, and the principles and processes in practice, the book then showcases a variety of interior spaces - residential, retail, workplace, hospitality, education, healthcare and manufacturing. The final chapter looks 'outside the walls', giving a case study at the campus and city scale. With practical guidance and real-world solutions that can be directly-applied in day-to-day practice, this is a must-have for designers interested in applying biophilic principles."--
Bill Browning is one of the world's leading exponents of biophilic design and has developed biophilic design strategies for a range of organisations around the world - from Google and the Bank of America to Element Hotels and Clif Bar. In 2006, he founded Terrapin Bright Green LLC, an environmental strategies research and consulting firm which helps clients employ biophilic design to enable enhanced productivity, health and wellbeing for stakeholders.
