Abstract

This study is about examining how biophilic design reduces ergonomic risk factors through library design. The study is important in that it is a descriptive study to draw attention to the fact that biophilic design principles increase the well-being of users by reducing ergonomic risk factors, to systematically examine library design within the scope of biophilic design principles, and to determine a direction about biophilic library design. This study aims to reveal that biophilic design not only reduces ergonomic risk factors but also improves mental and physical health. Document analysis was preferred to analyze the library in terms of biophilic design principles. With the findings obtained, deficiencies and ergonomic risk factors in the library's interaction with nature were identified and suggestions were made within the scope of biophilic design principles to improve them.
