Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increasing emphasis on improving educational spaces in Egypt to enhance the learning experience for children. Most schools in the country have standard designs in classrooms that may not be considered the healthiest or most comfortable setting for children to learn in, therefore this research aims to find the best solution for children using a biophilic design approach. Biophilic design is an approach that incorporates elements of the outside environment with the interior of a building. This study explores the features and goals of biophilic design, its effect on children, and how it would be best applied in primary schools in one of the newly generated urban areas in Egypt, the New Capital. This is done by thoroughly researching biophilia and child perception, studying existing school projects, and surveying students and teachers. This research concludes by finding a solution for low motivation in primary schools to adopt in new schools in the New Capital through a biophilic design approach.
