ABSTRACT
The following study focuses on biophilic design in contemporary architecture and its impact on sustainable context and people's health. The purpose of this paper is to establish how biophilia can be used to achieve the design of sustainable and people-oriented built environments. Subsequently, based on the literature, a conceptual model is formulated to capture the essence of biophilic design and stress sustainable living and improvement of the occupants' standard of living. Finally, the study provides a detailed literature review that chronologically analyses the historical development of biophilic design about the changing definitions of sustainable design. Methodologically, this research utilizes qualitative interviews, surveys, and case studies that encompass a wide geographical spread and types of architecture. Causal comparative and correlational methods are used to examine quantitative data that indicates how biophilic design benefits occupants. It would benefit from the results that reflect the positive relationship between the BIOPHILIC DESIGN elements and the improved well-being to show the advantages of the integration of SUSTAINABILITY AND HUMAN-CENTRIC DESIGN elements. From the lessons learned, it is clear that a finite design thinking approach generates the highest outcomes in these areas, but the study's applicability could be restricted by case study-focused analysis.
