Dennis Pappas Publishes New Blog Post On The Rise Of Biophilic Design
In the post, Pappas outlines how biophilic design goes beyond adding plants to buildings. It's about creating emotional, sensory, and ecological connections between people and the natural world.“We're hardwired for nature,” Pappas writes.“When we bring natural elements into our spaces-sunlight, greenery, water-we're not just improving aesthetics. We're improving health, focus, and well-being.”
The blog explores how biophilic principles are being applied across architecture, landscape design, and interior planning-from green roofs and living walls to natural materials, daylighting, and multisensory experiences. Pappas also addresses how cities can implement these ideas equitably and affordably in public spaces, schools, and housing.
“Biophilic design isn't just a trend-it's a response to how disconnected we've become from the natural systems that support us,” says Pappas.“If we want healthier cities, we have to design like nature matters-because it does.”
The article encourages urban planners, architects, and everyday residents to consider the role of nature in shaping environments that support human resilience, especially as cities face rising climate and mental health challenges.
