Investigating the Biophilic Bio-Oriented Approach in the Direction of Designing Compatible with the Environment and Human Health based on the Grand Theory Approach

Environmentally sustainable design is widely recognized as a key strategy to reduce the negative effects of buildings on the environment and has been criticized for its focus and dependence on technological advances, as opposed to focusing on the qualitative aspects of the human dimension and the desire to connect with nature. Has encountered Biophilic design as a potential strategy can pave the way to fill this gap by shifting the focus towards human-centered approaches. Biophilic design is based on the concept of health and well-being, and its basis is to create a positive effect in increasing the relationship between man and nature for the residents of the building and the environment. Since sustainable design and biophilic design better represent environmental responses, they can lead to more sustainable results as a comprehensive approach. The research method in this study is "grounded theory" which is one of the approaches of "qualitative strategy" and is applied and developmental in terms of its purpose. According to the basic theory, three main elements: concepts, classes and categories related to research were created through data conceptualization. The data was open coding including 113 characteristics and in axial coding 10 codes of concepts and in selective coding 6 categories, which was done in the form of library documentary studies according to the opinions of scholars in the field of sustainable biophilic approach. In the MAXQDA 10 software, the data were coded and selected according to the frequency and repetition of the codes. The results showed that in the biophilic approach, the existence of dimensions of direct connection with nature in the field of natural sustainability and the nature of space and place in the field of cultural sustainability caused human interaction with nature in the artificial environment, which subsequently had optimal effects on well-being and health. It can lead to an increase in the quality of life.
