Abstract

With the continuous increase of urban density, people gradually find that the city that is isolated from nature is contrary to the instinct of human desire for nature. The pro-nature design born to alleviate this dilemma has naturally become the focus of attention and the direction of future urban development. trend. The purpose of this paper is to find out the differences of the same concept in different environments and the reasons for the differences by studying and comparing the biophilic design cases and environmental differences between Canada and China. By listing and comparing the different human and natural environments of two countries, as well as the comparison of two cases, the article studies the different influences of people's living environment on the new biological design. Finally, it is concluded that the different levels of people's pressure and desire for nature will have an impact on biophilic design, and the degree of pressure and desire for nature is proportional to the number of biophilic elements in the design. This paper expects that biophilic design can focus on the sustainability and practicality of buildings, and at the same time, this paper provides information for future biophilic development and a theoretical basis for design.
