Health studies document the increase in stress and greater prevalence of some mental disorders in the cities. The constant interaction of urban life is leading to psychological problems.
Research shows that even a brief interaction with nature has mental healing benefits. Natural features in the cities are a necessity, features that enhance human health. House needs to be homely and more alive; the home needs to be a structure that can ‘BREATHE’. Cities depend on a healthy environment for proper functioning. Cities need to incorporate nature to bring a positive effect on mental health which can be achieved by interaction with nature.
“Biophilic design is about the value of the embodied beauty of nature that we can bring to our everyday lives, we can create an identity, a sense of belonging and well-being.” – Matthias Olt
Purpose:
Understanding the healing potential of design inspired by nature
Objective:
To address the issues of the degrading relationship between nature and humans leading to mental illnesses such as stress and depression
Enhancing mental healing and recovery.
Design Program:
A Biophilic Residence that responds to the dense concrete fabric of the city.
Design expectations:
Design an Urban Home that is based on the idea of ‘BIOPHILIA’.
Develop an urban residential model that overcomes the shortcomings of our current city homes. The user should be able to reconnect with nature. Concentrate on architectural and interior design innovations based on Biophilia. A single unit (any type in the existing urban fabric or design a type of your own) Mention the sq. m. (Area) of the residence in the selected location and the reasoning for the same.
“Building supports us best when they echo the scale and tone of the natural environment through inspiring light, form and dimension.” – Matthias Olt
Guidelines:
Site / Location – Participants’ choice (Condition: Should be an Urban Area)
The word to remember is ‘BIOPHILIC’.
We are expecting healing architectural design and spaces.
