Nature by design : the practice of biophilic design / Stephen R. Kellert. x, 214 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 20 x 27 cm Includes bibliographical references and index. One Biophilia: The Nature of Human Nature -- Two: principles of biophilic design -- Three: The practice of biophilic design -- Four: Biophilic design applications -- Epilogue: The ecological and ethical imperative. "Biophilia is the theory that people possess an inherent affinity for nature, which developed during the long course of human evolution. In recent years, studies have revealed that this inclination continues to be a vital component to human health and well-being. Given the pace and scale of construction today and the adversarial, dominative relationship with nature expressed by much building development, the integration of nature with our built environments is one of the greatest challenges of our time. In this sweeping examination, Stephen Kellert describes the basic principles, practices, and options for successfully implementing biophilic design. He shows us what is-and isn't-good biophilic design using examples of workplaces, healthcare facilities, schools, commercial centers, religious structures, and hospitality settings. This book will to appeal to architects, designers, engineers, scholars of human evolutionary biology, and-with more than one hundred striking images of designs-anyone interested in nature-inspired spaces."-- Architecture Environmental aspects.
