Natural environment because of its role in species evolution has a restorative impact on humans increasing happiness promoting neurotransmitter serotonin production, applicable to many medical phenomena. Humans have an innate biological affinity for the natural environment -the biophilia hypothesis and Biophilic design is an integral part of restorative environmental design, an approach that seeks to re-establish positive connections between nature and humanity. |
