Smart Design with a Biophilic Architecture Approach in Tehran

Given the growing challenges of urbanization, there is an increasing need for sustainable, human-centered urban spaces. Integrating the principles of biophilic architecture within the framework of smart design can offer innovative solutions to enhance the quality of life for citizens and protect the environment. The aim of this study is to identify the advantages and disadvantages of implementing this combined approach in the urban fabric of Tehran. The research method is descriptive-analytical and includes a review of relevant documents, field observations of urban spaces, and interviews with urban planning and architecture experts. In this context, indicators of smart design and principles of biophilic architecture are evaluated, particularly in relation to nature integration, the use of natural materials, the application of smart technologies, and lighting strategies aimed at enhancing these principles. The results show that Tehran possesses rich natural and cultural potential; however, the integrated application of smart design and biophilic approaches is still in its early stages. Challenges such as limited green space, air pollution, and insufficient attention to ecological aspects in urban development plans persist. Nevertheless, there are significant opportunities for innovative solutions in the design of public spaces, buildings, and urban infrastructure, which can lead to healthier, more vibrant, and human- and environment-friendly urban environments. This study employs a descriptive-analytical approach to explore and analyze the various dimensions of smart design with a biophilic architectural approach in Tehran.
