Abstract
ABSTRACT Nature is considered as an effective platform to reduce stress, improve health, psychotherapy, and deter diseases, thus providing patients with easy access to nature elements through the merge between nature elements and the hospital's internal space could accelerate the healing process and reduce fatigue and psychological stress, therefore reducing the dependence on the drug, especially for patients who spend long time in the same room such as surgical patients. The research focuses on showing the impact of applying the Biophilic design in healthcare facilities interior spaces on human physiology, cognitive functions, reducing patients stay in hospitals and increasing recovery rates. OBJECTIVES Finding the connection between natural systems and the subtle neurological and physiological functions to produce the best designs for the healthcare environment. finding the connection between nature based interior design and healing rates increasing. Using the biophilic design strategies to reduce patients’ average length of stay in hospitals. HYPOTHESIS Research assumes that: Creating human connections to nature within the healthcare-built environment to increase healing rates. Integrating nature into architecture will enliven Biophilia's restorative properties, in order to produce the best designs for the healthcare environment. Results Providing the healthcare facility with access to natural daylighting, outdoor views, and natural ventilation, integration of daylighting, natural views, and plants and greenery into healthcare facilities' interior design can relieve patients fatigue and speeds up the healing process, It could also be said that adding natural imagery or organic-design furniture leads to increase healing rates.
