Biophilic space shaped by daylight and planting

Biophilic architecture:
knowledge for designing life

The BIOMA Journal brings together research and tools on biophilic architecture, neuroscience, daylight, comfort and regenerative design. It turns intuition and evidence into informed design choices.

From knowledge to transformation

We do not collect trends
We build knowledge that serves design

The Journal is where we make the questions, tools and evidence behind BIOMA's work accessible.

Each contribution connects human experience, living systems and performance, distinguishing what is known, what is observed and what still needs to be verified.

Readings that observe space
from different perspectives

Accessible insights designed to support real decisions, from early orientation to post-project evaluation.

Three fields, one habitat

Research becomes design
when it holds relationships together

01

People and perception

Light, orientation, attention, comfort and patterns of use: the qualities that make a place legible, welcoming and supportive of everyday life.

02

Nature and living systems

Biophilia, biodiversity, water, planting and soil understood as design infrastructure rather than additions made at the end.

03

Material and performance

Climate, materials, air, acoustics and observable indicators connect perceived quality with the actual behaviour of spaces.
