Abstract

The harmonious concept of biophilic design is currently receiving a great deal of attention in the field of architecture, especially in response to the growing design of living environments, which reflect new forms of architecture that are more relevant to today's society. Open questions and controversies about the conceptualization and treatment of "harmony with nature" remain in practice and research. The combination of modern technology and tradition makes architecture more applicable to today's times.[10] This study explores biophilic design as a theoretical framework for explaining "harmony" in modern architecture through a literature review and actual restoration of traditional Chinese buildings. This study is about: (1) the concept and emergence of biophilic design (2) the five aspects of biophilic design in terms of material, structure, ventilation, landscape and daylighting that contribute to the realization of the goal of sustainable architecture (3) the key design elements of biophilic design, and so on. This review identifies and compares the key frameworks of biophilic design and explains their main concepts. The results show that natural light in biophilic design is healthier for the people who live there. In addition, research on the future development of buildings with more habitable spaces for people is made available to a critical direction for practice.
