The primary objective of this study is to offer a comprehensive overview of biophilic design and its practical applications within the realm of architectural education. To achieve this aim, a workshop experience was employed to underline the significance of biophilic design in fostering a harmonious relationship between built environments and the natural world, as well as to highlight the strong correlation between biophilic design and the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, an exploration of the incorporation of biophilic design principles within local architecture was shared, serving as a means to encourage architectural educators and practitioners to contemplate contemporary global issues through interactive workshops. By engaging in such activities, the intent was to enable architecture students to discern the potentialities within their immediate surroundings and to provide them with a practical framework for implementation. To reveal how biophilia can serve as a catalyst for SDG attainment, an informal educational proposal was formulated as an alternative approach to integrating biophilic design into architectural education.
