I find your whole approach extremely interesting, especially when at the beginning you say of the advantages (and I attest to its great truth) that things so simple but at the same time so necessary have for human beings, such as a walk in the forest, or through a garden or letting yourself be carried away by that gratifying sound of water, feeling it slide through your fingers ... I recognize and I believe I have always said it, that especially in the East you have a special sensitivity for these issues and in many cases (unfortunately, the overpopulation is a common evil) you have applied it in construction techniques. I will not say more in that sense, but I will throw a dart in favor of many cultures that preceded us and their intelligent way of building. And I will add that in the West, although the subject has always been quite discredited by scientists, it is known that most churches and hermitages did not rise in any place, but in very specific and telluric places, which enhanced the location. What I mean, basically, is that, unlike us, in those days men knew the environment and its characteristics and tried to benefit from them. An affectionate greeting,
Me parece sumamente interesante todo tu planteamiento, sobre todo, cuando al principio dices de las ventajas (y doy fe de su gran verdad) que tienen para el ser humano cosas tan sencillas pero a la vez tan necesarias, como un paseo por el bosque, o por un jardín o dejarse llevar por ese gratificante sonido del agua, sentirla deslizarse entre tus dedos...Reconozco y creo haberlo dicho siempre, que sobre todo en Oriente tenéis una especial sensibilidad para esos temas y en muchos casos (por desgracia, la superpoblación es un mal común) lo habéis aplicado en las técnicas de construcción. No diré más en ese sentido, pero sí tiraré un dardo en favor de muchas culturas que nos precedieron y su inteligente forma de construir. Y añadiré, que en Occidente, aunque siempre ha estado bastante desprestigiado el tema por los científicos, se sabe que la mayoría de iglesias y ermitas no se levantaban en cualquier lugar, sino en lugares muy concretos y telúricos, que potenciaban el emplazamiento. Lo que quiero decir, básicamente, es que, a diferencia de nosotros, en aquellos tiempos los hombres conocían el entorno y sus características y procuraban beneficiarse de ellas. Un afectuoso saludo,

Greetings @juancar347. Just like hitting 2 birds with one stone, as I've mentioned in this post, the Biophilic Creative™ approach is two-fold, giving this global cause an interesting perspective. The core logic behind this advocacy is that for our health, well-being, and productivity to thrive further and be enjoyed, we have no choice but to simply nurture Mother Nature. On the other hand, with a decaying natural environment, there's no way our human lives would prosper and be more sustainable.
However, there are some individuals who are not fascinated by nature, perhaps due to personal belief, peer influence, or non-interest. Although this phenomenon of our affinity with nature has already been scientifically proven to be embedded in our genetic makeup since birth, non-believers, haters, and pessimists still need to be convinced of the effective healing powers of the natural world. If recurring signs of rampant suffering, poor health, and sudden death are not enough to wake them up, I don't know what will.
Moreover, architects and designers from different disciplines have been using nature as a powerfully reliable tool from their arsenal of professional devices to effectively create suitable spaces to achieve the best human experiences. So, whether an individual has been influenced by Western or Eastern culture, it doesn't matter (in my opinion) for we only have one home planet (for now). Well, if Elon Musk and our scientists finally conquer planet Mars as an alternative abode for Earthlings, that's another story. Geographical borders don't matter when it comes to the protection, conservation, and development of our natural resources, which benefit and affect every person in one way or another. Thank you very much for your valuable ideas, and for contributing useful insights as always. Have a safe, productive, and enjoyable week my dear friend. 😊
