The Effect of Biophilic Design in Interior Spaces to Reduce the Stress of Patients in Medical Centers

Abstract

Architecture can play a very important role for the return of man to nature, among which biophilic architecture and design seeks to reconnect man with nature. Relying on biophilic design in order to increase environmental quality and psychologically affect patients can be necessary in therapeutic environments, because as the design of these spaces is very important in terms of functionality, it has always been studied by researchers in terms of spatial quality, psychological dimensions and physical impact on the process of treatment and recovery of patients. This study was carried out aimed to determine the effective components of biophilic design in therapeutic environments in order to improve the health of patients, and according to the results, communication with nature, which includes things such as sunlight, water, vegetation, etc., can have a significant impact on human health and reduce the duration of the patient's recovery and reduce the duration of treatment.
