Building design takes a natural approach to satisfy need for biophilic connection

Implications - As concrete and glass cities create a disconnection from nature for consumers, designers are filling the void by using a natural aesthetic. This signifies a consumer desire for a more comforting, natural design ethos that speaks to their natural tendencies rather than forcing them into a foreign encasement.
Trend Themes
1. Biophilic Connection - Designers are filling the disconnection from nature by using natural aesthetics.
2. Humanizing Architecture - Architecture that mimics scientific diagrams on a human blood stream or an oversized human head.
3. Sustainability - Sustainable structures that produce less impact on the environment such as The Ricola Herb Center.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture and Design - Architects and designers can take a humanistic, biophilic approach in architecture, incorporating natural aesthetics.
2. Healthcare - Incorporate biophilic design to positively impact patient outcomes and improve patient satisfaction levels.
3. Art and Culture - Create art sculptures that serve as a platform for messages to be heard, such as Het Orakel.
