14 Patterns of Biophilic Design-10th Anniversary Edition
To mark a decade of advancing biophilic design, Terrapin Bright Green has released the 10th Anniversary Edition of its ground-breaking report, 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design. First introduced as a framework for integrating nature into built environments, the updated publication reflects the latest research, insights, and a notable addition: a new pattern, Awe.
Bill Browning, founder of Terrapin Bright Green and a leading voice in biophilic design, has long championed the transformative impact of spaces designed with a connection to nature. He explains, “The spaces we inhabit significantly affect our psychological, physiological, and neurological states. Biophilic design aims to create environments where people thrive.”
