Biophilic – What does it mean?

The term ‘Biophilia’ literally means a love of living things and/or life. 

It is a concept used within the building industry to increase connectivity to the natural environment through direct nature, indirect nature, and space and place conditions. Studies have shown convincing evidence of the positive benefits of interaction with nature. These positive benefits have been added to the list shown above.

Edward O Wilson, an American biologist, defined it as “the urge to affiliate with other forms of life”. In 1984 he published his book ‘Biophilia’, which popularised the term. Edward also won a Pulitzer Prize in 1978 for On Human Nature.

Do Moss Walls require topsoil?
