4.1.2PATTERNBOOK

This resource will break down the chosen practice of biophilic design into the three formerly stated categories: Direct, Indirect, and Space & Place. The proposed layout for the spread for each practice will include the overarching category, the pattern name, a brief description, the limitations and opportunities, and general instructions for implementation. Supplementally, each spread will include a brief analysis of difficulty level, cost, climate restrictions and opportunities, wellness benefits, and similarities to other practices.

This pattern book is intended to be a resource for anyone interested in implementing biophilic design in the home, regardless of their design background, so it will be comprehensive and thorough in explanations and organization of the presented topics. Initial descriptions of the pattern book’s objectives and important terminology will be provided, along with an organized index of practices and where they fall within the previously mentioned categories.
