The Enduring Beauty and Benefits of Biophilia

KIOME’s biophilic design approach is a significant departure from traditional multi-residential living. Too often multi-residential design places focus on ‘luxury’ and falls short in providing an authentic offering for ‘quality of life.’ First referenced in 1973 by Erich Fromm, the positive effects of biophilia or connecting with nature was further hypothesised in 1993 by Edward O Wilson, who published that humanity has a primal need to connect with ‘life’ in all its forms. Biophilia: "The passionate love of life and of all that is alive.” ERICH FROMM 1973 As humans, we are deeply connected to our natural environment.
