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. It is part of a unique special volume on Danish architect and Professor "Kay Fisker" Institut for Arkitektur og Kultur (from the Royal Danish Academy Architecture Design Conservation where Fisker was the Dean), Copenhagen, editors: Angela Mariafinita Gigliotti and Martin Søberg, ISSN: 2597-3126
