Biophilic Design is increasingly recognised not simply as a design philosophy, but as an essential framework for healthier living and healthier communities.Australia has a deep cultural and environmental connection to landscape and ecology, and we believe there is enormous opportunity for The Journal of Biophilic Design to contribute meaningfully to conversations taking place across architecture, interiors, sustainability and human wellbeing. 

We are proud to be bringing the Journal to Australian audiences at such an important moment for the industry."Vanessa Champion, Founder and Editor of The Journal of Biophilic Design, welcomed the partnership."What is so exciting about launching in Australia is the opportunity to continue building a truly global conversation around nature-led design, one that is culturally rich, scientifically informed and accessible to everyone. Across architecture, healthcare, education, workplaces and our cities, we are seeing growing recognition that designing with nature can positively transform both people and planet."The partnership aligns closely with Studio Chintamani’s mission to enrich human health, wellbeing, and environmental outcomes through the integration of neuroscience, biodiversity, and biophilic design principles.
