Biophilia is a term coined by Edward O. Wilson, a biologist and naturalist, to describe the innate and instinctive bond between humans and nature. It suggests that humans have an inherent need to connect with the natural world and other forms of life. The concept of biophilia is often broken down into three pillars, which highlight different aspects of this connection. 
​
Direct Experience of Nature
Indirect Experience of Nature
Nature in the Built Environment
​
      The three pillars of biophilia emphasize the importance of direct and indirect experiences with nature, as well as the integration of natural elements into the spaces we inhabit. It underscores the vital role that nature plays in our lives and the need to design our environments in ways that foster a harmonious relationship with the natural world for the benefit of our health, happiness, and overall human experience.
