basis, Hence it is necessary to research on connections between human and Living things. Wilson claims that our natural attraction for Nature and creature is spirit of our humanity and hold us to all other living things (Fig1.)
Application of Natural elements in designing is need of today’s planning. These green planning not only enhances beauty of spaces but also provide healthy environment. Green spaces improve productivity of work and reduce carbon footprint. The study explains Evolution of Biophilic design, its principles and pattern. Application of Biophilic design in sustainable architecture is also part of this research paper. The aim of the paper is to asses awareness of Biophilic architecture.

1.INTRODUCTION In today’s scenario, construction is backbone of the economy of city. while doing this, concrete jungles are spreading vigorously neglecting existence of green spaces and its importance in urbanization. Though vegetation is observed while planning any structure, we should even give an attention towards use of other natural elements to improve quality of spaces .This paper is focusing on use of natural elements like Air, Light, Water as well as Landscaping used in construction through case studies. Paper also explains Link between human and nature using principles and elements of Biophilic design. Our instinctual responses to the natural world form the basis of human psychology. Our brains have evolved to naturally seek out environments that promote our physical and emotional wellness. Many psychologists and researchers did research on this and derived with Biophilic Principles and attributes. Paper gives comparative analysis to study evolution of biophilia.

Fig 1. Connection with Nature Later on, Wilson, together with Stephen R. Kellert, published the collection of essays ‘The Biophilia Hypothesis ‘(Kellert and Wilson, 1993); This hypothesis asserts that human reliance on nature is not restricted to physical nourishment but it covers human craving for aesthetics, intellectual, cognitive, and even spiritual meaning and satisfaction. As the year passes concept of biophilic design succeeded with the time, here is the table which gives comparative analysis of various researchers. (Table 1)
METHODOLOGY To derive with the design strategies of Biophilic design, evolution of Biophilic design is studied. For that theories and Principles are compared for period of time. Case study of Biophilic structures gave existing design strategies. Biophilic design is quantified by Biophilic Scorecard, Certification and Public Surveys. A. Evolution of Biophilic Design Erich Fromm first described the human personality trait known as biophilia, which was later elaborated by E.O.
