Abstract

Recently, most people have spent much of their time at work, often in indoor office buildings that are designed without regard to natural elements and workers` well-being. For these reasons, Business Parks are designed to improve the whole workplace environment. Bringing fresh air, green areas, and natural elements into workspaces could enhance the work environment and increase productivity by taking care of workers` physiological needs. On other hand, Biophilic design introduces some principles to create visually beautiful and spiritual places. By merging Architecture with nature and bringing outdoors greenery through indoor areas, a healthy workplace environment could be generated. Therefore, Biophilic design could be a solution towards more relaxed workspaces. Consequently, this study will elaborate a comprehensive framework towards combining principles, attributes, and elements of Biophilic design and design solutions of Business Parks. The study focuses on Business Park as a case study as the trend of Business Park can change the traditional concept of office buildings and reconnect the human with nature again, which lessens stress and negative impacts on health. So that, workers can get a work environment free from stress which will enhance the individuals` well-being. In this context, this paper will analyze international, local offices and Business Parks that were designed upon Biophilic design concepts. Eventually, the novelty aim of this manuscript is to create a contemporary tendency which concerns about blending the Biophilic design concept with Business Parks interior and exterior design spaces to create an efficient and healthy work environment, also to improve the whole users` experience.
