Biophilia
– Biophilia hypothesis, idea that humans possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life.
– German-born American psychoanalyst Erich Fromm in The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness (1973)
– Harvard Professor of Biology, multiple Pulitzer prize winning author and world authority on social insects Edward O. Wilson in his work Biophilia (1984), which proposed
Our genetic connection to nature

The project
• Grow and deepen the evidence base for health, wellbeing and productivity impacts of restorative office refurbishment
![Page 17: Building Sustainably Biophilic Design Workshop · 2018-03-21 · Building a better world together Dr Ed Suttie & Dr Flavie Lowres, BRE Building Sustainably Biophilic Design Workshop](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011820/5ea2d375a5640b4b276ad782/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The questions
• What practical interventions can office owners implement to improve health andwellbeing?
• Can these be quantified as part of the decision making process?
• Can products used in the refurbishment of a building be measured for their “health andwellbeing potential”?
• Measures of occupant productivity?
• Provision of practical guidance to engage refurbishment contractors, real estate ownersand designers.
• Evidence building for offices and products
