Episode 16: Biophilic Design: Bringing Nature into Our Built Environment

In this episode of Eco Echo, host Nil Kiran sits down with Beyza Altan, to explore the concept of integrating natural elements into architectural spaces. From plants and water features to natural light and airflow systems, biophilic design is reshaping how we experience urban environments.

Beyza explains how this approach goes beyond aesthetics, improving health, productivity, and well-being for those who spend time in these spaces. Real-world examples like The Edge in Amsterdam show just how effective biophilic design can be in creating environments that optimize comfort and efficiency.

Whether you’re an architect, designer, or just someone interested in how our built environments impact us, this episode breaks down why biophilic design is more than just a trend—it’s the future of how we design spaces for people and the planet.
