description The article addresses biophilic architecture as a design approach that seeks to improve human well-being in built spaces through the integration of natural elements.Objective of the ArticleThe main objective of the article is to analyze and synthesize the relationship between biophilic architecture and human well-being in built spaces, highlighting the importance of incorporating natural elements to promote better quality of life and user comfort.Methodology: The methodology used in the article is a narrative review that analyzes the intellectual production on biophilic architecture from academic papers. International indexes such as ScienceDirect, Web Of Science and Scopus were searched using keywords related to biophilic architecture and its design. This methodology seeks to describe and qualitatively compare the findings of different relevant studies in the field.Results: The results of the article highlight that the integration of natural elements has a positive impact on the emotional, cognitive and physiological well-being of users. Several studies reviewed demonstrate that biophilic architecture can reduce anxiety, improve cognitive performance and promote relaxation. Key features and findings from experimental studies validating these benefits were also presented.Conclusions: Biophilic architecture is presented as a valuable approach that fuses nature with architectural design to improve human well-being. The authors emphasize that by incorporating natural elements into built spaces, the health and comfort of occupants can be improved. They also stress the need for further research and development of best practices in this field to maximize its impact, while also addressing challenges related to maintenance and additional costs.
