Synopsis

With a Foreword by Thomas Heatherwick

Biophilic design brings positive experiences of nature into the built environment — whether in a domestic, work, leisure, healthcare, education or retail setting. Written by proponents, who are also leading expert practitioners, this updated version is a key design guide to biophilia for architects and interior designers.

By raising awareness of biophilic design as a strategy to support psychological and physiological wellbeing, Nature Inside illustrates how it can be implemented, across a range of international case studies. It offers a plethora of practical insight and real-world solutions for all designers. Brand new case studies offer up-to-date, applicable inspiration for any designer.

Starting with the principles and processes of biophilic design in practice, it showcases a variety of interior spaces — residential, retail, workplace, hospitality, education, healthcare, manufacturing and civic. The final chapter looks ‘outside the walls’, by providing a case study at the park, community and city scale, concluding with an essential practical toolkit.
