WHAT WE DO.
The Italian Academy of Biophilia (AIB) works in the round in the field of Biophilia, Biophilic Design and Environmental Psychology through an interdisciplinary approach. Our activities range from advanced training to scientific rereresearch, from consulting to popularization, with the aim of promoting a deep connection between humans and nature.
Research
In close collaboration with universities and scientists, we develop innovative studies aimed at knowing, evaluating, and measuring the intrinsic connection between humans and the environment through internationally shared and continuously developing methodologies and constructs, such as perceived regenerativity, connection to nature, perceived stress, and many others. Through our rereresearch, we aim to assess and amplify the positive impact of Biophilia, Biophilic Design, and the built environment on individual, social, environmental, and economic wellbeing, contributing significantly to scientific progress on the one hand, and to the improvement and promotion of life on the other.
Education
We firmly believe in the power of education and training. Therefore, we offer a wide range of educational programs aimed at professionals, businesses, and students in all fields. Our educational offerings are rooted in solid scientific and multidisciplinary foundations, designed to impart to participants the knowledge and skills needed to integrate the principles of Biophilia, Biophilic Design and Environmental Psychology into professional practice and daily life.
Consulting
We offer our technical and scientific expertise to agencies, companies and professionals, supporting them in designing and implementing spaces, materials, products and objects that reflect the science and principles of Biophilia, Biophilic Design and Environmental Psychology. From conception to implementation, we are able to integrate all the disciplinary skills needed to rereresearch and solve complex problems, developing innovative and competitive projects that improve quality of life, wellbeing, and environmental sustainability.
Dissemination
Through multiple activities, such as educational campaigns, events, and publications, we strive to promote awareness of the vital importance of living connected to nature. Our outreach activities are key to spreading awareness and appreciation of Biophilia among the general public. Our goal is to inspire individuals and communities to adopt lifestyles and practices that strengthen this essential connection, for the collective wellbeing and that of the planet.
"AIB Approved" MARK
The "AIB Approved" mark is a recognition of excellence and integrity in the Biophilic landscape, symbolizing a deep commitment to the promotion of a future in which harmony between the built environment and the natural world is not merely aspired to, but actively pursued. This badge, bestowed by the Italian Academy of Biophilia, not only recognizes initiatives that embody biophilic principles; it also acts as a reliable signal to consumers and stakeholders in the selection of products and services that promote a shared wellbeing rooted in a deep connection with nature. The process of obtaining the "AIB Approved" label is based on rigorous and meticulous verification, ensuring full compliance with high standards and promoting practices that uphold an ethic of care and respect toward the ecosystem. Granting this label means recognizing and valuing the efforts of those leading the way toward a biophilic world, where the coexistence of humans and the natural environment results in a symphony of wellbeing and sustainability.
