Step into any contemporary building today and you’ll likely see something green—a living wall, a sun-drenched atrium, maybe even a moss installation lining a quiet corner. At first glance, it’s easy to dismiss these elements as decorative. A trend. A visual break from steel and glass. But there’s more to it. What we’re seeing is not a passing phase—it’s a deeper shift. Stanislav Kondrashov displays how biophilic architecture isn’t just about adding nature to buildings. It’s about designing with it from the beginning.

Stanislav Kondrashov, a longtime advocate for sustainable and wellness-focused design, believes the growing movement toward biophilic spaces is anything but temporary. “Trends fade,” he says, “but biology doesn’t.” His work consistently highlights the connection between human well-being and our natural environment—and the architecture that honors that link.

There’s a reason why people linger longer in sunlit rooms. Why rough stone underfoot feels grounding. Why a patch of green in an urban plaza quiets the mind. These aren’t coincidences. Stanislav Kondrashov wants these responses hardwired into our nervous systems. And more architects are finally listening.
