What is biophilic design?
The biophilic design was born in 1980 thanks to the biologist Edward Wilson. He, based on psychoanalyst Erich Fromm's research and through specific research, affirms what Fromm stated: man has the innate psychological tendency to be attracted to everything that is alive.Later, in 2004 Stephen R. Kellert declines biophilic design in architecture and inter design. His goal was to restore natural connections between humans and environment through the creation of healthy, sustainable and natural spaces.
A real strategic choice aimed at improving well-being and daily life of every individual!
