| Abstract | ||||
| This research paper explores the potential of integrating biophilic design principles within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to promote environmental sustainability, human well-being, and social equity. By examining the intersections between biophilic design and the SDGs, this study aims to elucidate the ways in which biophilic design can contribute to the advancement of sustainable development objectives. Through a comprehensive review of literature and theoretical analysis, the research investigates the role of biophilic design in addressing key challenges outlined in the SDGs, such as climate action, sustainable cities and communities, and health and well-being. The findings of this study offer insights into the potential of biophilic design to serve as a catalyst for achieving the SDGs, providing valuable implications for policymakers, designers, and practitioners seeking to create more sustainable and human-centered built environments. In addition, Biophilic design, rooted in the innate human connection to nature, offers a framework for creating built environments that foster human well-being while minimizing environmental impact. This paper reviews the theoretical foundations of biophilic design and its relevance to sustainable architecture, emphasizing the potential synergies between nature- inspired principles and sustainable design practices. The findings highlight the potential of biophilic design to enhance occupant well-being, improve building performance, and contribute to the overall sustainability of the built environment. By elucidating the practical implications and theoretical underpinnings of biophilic design in sustainable architecture. | ||||
