My research question is How does exposure to biophilic design elements such as greenery, natural light, and views of nature impact our health and productivity? This topic interests me because I am in the construction and architecture field and design is something that is very interesting to me. When I design and construct built environments in the future, I would love to incorporate biophilic design. I already know that biophilic design is a concept used in the building industry to connect occupants to the natural environment. This is done by implementig designs such as a lot of natural light and greenery. Some points that I plan to explore and find out more about are about the impact this design type has on humans. How does it increase productivity and human health?
I found this source which goes more in depth about what biophilic design is, and the impact it has.
Cristina: you have found a source that may not be reliable. WHO What is Terrapin? This looks like the website of a company that builds these tuypes of buildings. So the information is used to market their products. It’s not objective as a source for research.
My instructions in the assignment say to use reliable sources like New York TImes and Wall Street Journal and other newspapers. PRINTOUT THE ASSIGNMENT.
I strongly suggest that you re-think your Research Q.
Suggestion: WOuld you like to research green design in architecture? Super interesting and there are lots of articles in NYT and other general interest magazines and newspapers.
Here are a couple of NYT articles:

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/06/realestate/architecture-natural-materials.html
A bunch of source leads here:
Something like — What is green architecture and how does green design contribute to sustainability in architecture?
