Design Biofílico em Escritórios: Estratégias para um Ambiente de Trabalho Mais Saudável e Produtivo

Abstract

This study aims to present the importance of reconnecting humans with nature in living environments, especially within office settings. It starts from the hypothesis that contact with natural elements can reduce stress and promote mental and physical well-being. Concepts such as biophilia and biophilic design are introduced, addressing their practical applications in the creation of interior spaces to reduce the negative impacts of urban desertification and a fast-paced lifestyle. The research includes a literature review, a questionnaire survey, and the modeling of environments with different levels of natural lighting, proposing biophilic solutions adaptable to corporate spaces. It is concluded that the integration of nature into indoor environments is an effective strategy for mental health, productivity improvement, and the creation of more humanized and sustainable spaces. It is essential to emphasize that this strategy does not, under any circumstances, replace medical treatments.
