description Objective: The aim of the article is to examine how to connect people with nature through biophilic architecture, based on the idea that proximity to nature can improve health and well-being, promoting a balance between urban and natural environments. It also seeks to analyze the physical and emotional benefits that these spaces can provide to those who inhabit them. Methodology: An exhaustive narrative review of the existing scientific literature was carried out. Databases such as Scopus, Scielo and Scispace were consulted using terms related to “architecture”, “design”, “biophilic” and “emotional”. The search period covered publications from 2020 to 2024, and less empirical manuscripts such as letters to the editor or theses were excluded. Results: The review identified a total of 86 articles initially, of which 10 were selected that addressed biophilic architecture and its impact on well-being. The results suggest that biophilic architecture can improve cognitive function, reduce stress, and create a calmer environment in built spaces. It also underscores the importance of opportunities to experience nature within urban environments. Main Conclusions: The article's conclusions highlight that biophilic architecture is an innovative approach to integrating nature into architectural design, improving human well-being and fostering a deeper connection with the natural environment. The implementation of natural elements in built spaces not only improves occupant comfort and health, but also promotes sustainability and urban biodiversity. Overall, biophilic architecture presents an effective strategy for creating more pleasant and healthy environments for living and working.
