Ideas on Kay Fisker and the biophilic design approach

Long before biophilic design had a name, Kay Fisker championed architecture that blurred the line between indoors and nature. This essay traces how Fisker’s teachings, travels, and international connections – from Swedish functionalism to Japanese spatial ideas – quietly laid the groundwork for the nature-connected domestic architecture that would bring postwar Denmark fame.
