Abstract

With the rapid development of urbanization and the current global epidemic of covid-19, our urban construction seems to be less connected to the natural world, ecological diversity is decreasing, and the relationship between human beings and nature is gradually weakening. At present, the proposal of a new design concept, biophilic design, has created a way that modern society can return to the essence of human beings. As Biophilia means "love for life and living systems", this design philosophy incorporates the essence of our lives and as a way of design brings nature into the environment in which we live and work. Design stimulates human cognition of nature from all senses, brings nature into the built environment, creates a space with a sense of comfort and well-being, and promotes sustainable development. Diversity of life can be preserved, and the relationship between human beings and nature can be harmonious. However, there are still a series of problems and challenges in the process of biophilic design practice. In this study, the concept and importance of biophilia are discussed, examines the issues and challenges of biophilic design for intimate spaces, expounds on how biophilic design builds the unification of indoor and outdoor spaces and discusses the process of biophilic design Whether privacy is preserved or rediscovered.
