Learning Objectives

1. Define the concept of biophilic design including the human response to nature. Elaborate on the misconceptions of biophilia that may hold designers back. 2. Describe the psychological, economical, and environmental benefits of biophilic design. 3. Explain how building products that mimic nature can illicit the same human response as natural materials. 4. As an example, discuss alternative-wood products and their use in biophilic design. List the benefits of this tree-free solution that looks and performs like wood, is economical, and low maintenance. 5. Identify the numerous design solutions and applications for these simulated-wood products.
