Verdant haven: a biophilic pavilion / Nadia Adriana Mohd Nazzer ... [et al.]

Biophilic design, a method of reconnecting with the essence of humans in the modern world, strives to create atmospheres in interior spaces that promote both physical and mental comfort. Urbanisation has taken away green spaces, leading city dwellers to distance themselves from nature and yearn for it. Biophilic design elements are parts of a design approach that aims to reflect nature from the outside to the inside, creating a sensory atmosphere in which human beings can achieve comfort, health, and relaxation through connection with nature. Nature has a proven impact on our mental and physical well-being. By incorporating biophilic design into our pavilion, we can meet our innate desire to connect with nature in the modern world. When the library interior design embraces (or looks like) our natural environment, our visitors feel a greater sense of relaxation and calmness, making the library space a place that facilitates the necessary mental breaks that are essential for our well-being and quality of life.
