Textile printing design between phenomenological theory and biophilic thought

Biophilic design positively affects the physical, psychological, and spiritual health of individuals. If a design does not consider all aspects of nature that influence human health and the ability to thrive, it cannot be considered biophilic design. This design approach possesses features and advantages, including its emphasis on engaging with the broader environment rather than isolating oneself from nature, where all living organisms exist in interconnected ecosystems. Biophilic design is motivated by its foundational philosophy and patterns, positing that the user's connection to nature is rooted in physical phenomena, coexistence, and reciprocal influence. This connection significantly enhances the user's well-being, impacting both psychological aspects and physical health. The research also addresses several challenges, including how to adapt biophilic design to improve human health and facilitate integration with nature, particularly within the context of textile printing design. It reviews the conditions of biophilic design and its applications in addressing design-related issues. The research employs a descriptive and deductive approach to define the concepts of phenomenological theory and biophilic design, exploring their relationship with human mental health. It adopts an applied experimental methodology that emphasizes sensory and visual elements, aiming to enhance the functional performance of textile printing design through contemporary methods. This approach incorporates diverse elements and color palettes inspired by nature, aiming to balance form, color, and function to mitigate negative impacts on human health and foster positive energy that supports the efficient execution of vital functions.
