Christopher Leese, technical director at TG Escapes Modular Eco Buildings, looks at the impact of biophilic design on pupils behaviour and attainment in schools and nurseries
Biophilic design, an innovative approach to architectural and interior design, integrates natural elements such as light, plants, and organic patterns into built environments to foster a connection with nature.
In classrooms, this design philosophy is particularly relevant as it transforms traditional spaces into nurturing environments that enhance wellbeing and learning capacity.
By bringing the outdoors inside, biophilic classrooms can create atmospheres conducive to emotional balance, focus, and creativity.
Pupil behaviour and attainment are vital metrics of educational success, directly influencing academic performance and long-term development.
