14 Patterns of Biophilic Design

What the study found

Organizes biophilic design into 14 patterns for practical use and connects them to selected research.

Limitations

Not a peer-reviewed systematic review or standard; evidence quality varies by pattern.

Neurodesign interpretation

This framework is excellent for naming design moves. It should never be allowed to lend the same evidence weight to all fourteen.

Possible design implications

Use its patterns as indexing labels while grading underlying evidence independently.

Why it stays in the corpus

Retain as a design taxonomy, not as proof of effectiveness.
