Abstract

Humans are biologically connected to nature, physically, psychologically, and spiritually. Humans’ belonging to nature is something innate and is known as biophilia. It has a direct and strong relationship to human health and well-being. Biophilic design is a new design approach to integrating natural elements into built environments to enhance human mental health, which is affected by the quality of the indoor environments in which we live and work. As we spend most of our time in these environments, there is still a need to further apply biophilic design in built environments and enhance communication between humans and nature because of its positive effects on human health. Nature is considered a source of inspiration for designers and artists to generate ideas in the design process that influence and move the ceramic designer’s imagination to use nature’s models and systems in ceramic design. New trends have emerged in the field of nature-loving design (biophilia), which enhances positive communication between humans and the environment in built environments and in order to integrate design. Sustainable ceramics in built environments. Biophilic ceramic design focuses more on the need for humans to relate to nature in the surrounding environment, including built environments. As a result, some designers in the field of ceramic design are trying to make ceramic designs in built environments that are more integrated with the environment and compatible with human nature. Ceramic is considered It is one of the most important materials that is suitable for built environments, because it has many formal and color aesthetics, and there is still a need for further application of sustainable biophilic ceramic design in improving human mental health and well-being, given the existence of a close and direct relationship between humans and nature. This study suggests supporting positive interaction. Between man and nature in order to encourage a sense of responsibility towards society and nature and to continuously improve the quality of the built environment through sustainable biophilic ceramic design elements for a healthy indoor environment. From here came the main idea of researching how to integrate innovative biophilic ceramic designs into built environments.
