One of the trends that are gaining more and more strength in the world of architecture and interior design is "biophilic design", the term 'biophilia' translates as 'the love of living things' in ancient Greek (philia = love to / tilt to). Biophilia was used for the first time by psychologist Erich Fromm in 1964, to be later popularized in the 80s by the biologist Edward O. Wilson, when he detected how urbanization was beginning to promote a strong disconnection with nature.
