Explanation and review of biophilic design models and ecological theory of perception with Gibson's psychological principles

According to the evidence, the universal tendency of human society towards communication with other organisms and presence in natural environments as the first and fundamental platform of life has been documented. The question of whether such attraction with such universality is rooted in the inherent nature of mankind (especially through architecture) has provoked many theoretical discussions in this field. These theories believe in the instinctive and inherent connection of humans to the environment and natural factors. In other words, such tension is considered common among all human beings regardless of time and place, age, gender and race. Among the debates about the tendency of human nature towards the manifestations of life, is the hypothesis of "loving life" (biophilia). The research method is "descriptive-analytical" that has used data collection tools including library and documentary studies. Also, the "logical reasoning" method has been used in recovering the conceptual model. The findings of the present research show that the value of direct and sustainable experience of environmental systems and active interaction with them in the everyday living places of citizens is the basis for addressing nature-friendliness in the field of urban spaces and architecture. Become Therefore, urban spaces and architecture should be presented as valuable arenas for communication with natural elements and systems by urban communities. At the end, the landscape model of biophilic architecture is mentioned in creating and strengthening the sense of nature-friendliness in architecture with an emphasis on the ecological theory of perception.
