Biophilic Design and its Influence on Stress Reduction in High-Density Living Environment

This research investigates the impact of biophilic design on stress reduction in high-density living environments. As urbanization intensifies, the challenges of stress in densely populated areas become increasingly pronounced. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining case studies and surveys to explore the relationship between biophilic design elements—such as natural light, greenery, and water features— and stress levels in high-density urban settings. Drawing on existing literature in environmental psychology, the research establishes a theoretical framework for understanding the potential of biophilic design to alleviate stress. Through in-depth analysis of real-world case studies, this paper aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of biophilic interventions and their implications for architects, urban planners, and policymakers seeking to create healthier and more sustainable high-density living environments. The findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the intersection of design, well-being, and urban living. Keywords: Biophilic design, sustainability, stress, architecture.
