With a Foreword by Thomas HeatherwickBiophilic design brings positive experiences of nature into the built environment — whether in a domestic, work, leisure, healthcare, education or retail setting. Written by proponents, who are also leading expert practitioners, this updated version is a key design guide to biophilia for architects and interior designers.By raising awareness of biophilic design as a strategy to support psychological and physiological wellbeing, Nature Inside illustrates how it can be implemented, across a range of international case studies. It offers a plethora of practical insight and real-world solutions for all designers. Brand new case studies offer up-to-date, applicable inspiration for any designer.Starting with the principles and processes of biophilic design in practice, it showcases a variety of interior spaces — residential, retail, workplace, hospitality, education, healthcare, manufacturing and civic. The final chapter looks ‘outside the walls’, by providing a case study at the park, community and city scale, concluding with an essential practical toolkit.Featured projects include:PDX International Airport Terminal, Portland, by ZGF ArchitectsMaggie’s Centre, Leeds, by Heatherwick StudioThe London home of Kelly Hoppen MBESeesaw Coffee, Beijing, by nota architectsThe Spine, Liverpool, by AHRCentral Library, Calgary, by SnøhettaMeat & Wine Safari, Sydney, by COOOP
