    Biophilic design in primary school
    (UMT.Lahore, 2022) MUHAMMAD AMMAR JAMIL
    Due to rapidly advancements of urbanization all over the word unfortunately which causes the People minimum access to the nature or its elements and according to some surveys and reports adults and children spent their 90 percent of their life in inside of buildings. Children at very young age are in dire need to be connected with nature and learn about it. And as we all experience the pandemic situation recently where all of us avoid congested spaces and crowded areas. So, I am going to design such space where children just not only learn but also observeand experience the nature and its elements under the same roof. Experiencing and observing nature just not only reduces stress level, anxiety, fatigue, confusion and provide emotional restoration but also increase the capacity of learning, understanding and absorbing knowledge. So, in order to address all these problems and setting a new trend in Pakistan I choose Biophilic Design in Primary School. Biophilic Design is an approach of connecting building occupants more closely to nature. In my design I will ensure maximum utility of natural light and ventilation in my school and give access to students to explore natural landscape settings. I will use both direct and indirect nature in school. For internal and external fit outs natural materials and textures will be used. Artificial substitute like natural textured wall paneling and 3d graphics will be used in order to provide natural and pleasant feel. Each class room will havelarge openable windows having maximum transparency so the students sitting inside just not only enjoy and observe outer landscape and hear outer soundscape settings but also observe the seasonal changes occurs in nature with time.
