Revitalizing Urban Work Environments though Biophilic Design

Recognizing the detrimental effects of nature deprivation on human health within urban environments, my research investigates the adverse impacts of urban landscapes and proposes a solution through the integration of biophilic design. By highlighting the beneficial influence of nature on both mental and physical well-being, this study explores the transformative potential of incorporating natural elements into urban settings. My thesis specifically focuses on creating a biophilic co-working space for the working class in Mumbai, aiming to promote healthier and more sustainable urban environments that facilitate a harmonious coexistence between city dwellers and the natural world.
