Abstract

Educational institutions hold paramount significance in shaping the cognitive and behavioral patterns of successive cohorts. Egypt is among the nations that encounter numerous challenges in their present design practices pertaining to the design strategies employed in school buildings. A considerable number of educational institutions are disregarding the potential influence that connecting classrooms with outdoor environments can have on students' behavior and learning processes. In order to enhance their effectiveness and productivity, it is imperative that students have a sense of freedom, relaxation, and motivation. There are a multitude of interior design approaches that have the potential to enhance the interior space of a classroom, hence creating a more comfortable and engaging environment for students. Biophilic design represents a sustainable design approach that facilitates the integration of indoor areas with the external environment by using elements such as plants, daylighting, textures, materials, and colors. The objective of this study is to provide a series of ways for incorporating Biophilic design in order to improve the academic performance of kids in existing primary schools in Egypt.
