This is my first time working through credit EQpc123. It was a very interesting requirement that made me think more abstractly about the project. Reading through the biophillic design literature, I realized just how much the project I am working on provides a learning area uniquely situated to maximize the natural environment in and around the space.
One thing that I wished the credit was more clear about is the structure of the response it is looking for. I wasn't sure if I was to make a simple list or write a short novel. I ended up with the novel approach as I felt it better conveyed the nature of the credit.

Hello ..., it is indeed a very interesting credit that invites us to perceive in a different way the environment in which our project is. What we have used to show what the credit asks for, is to generate a document with photographs that show very clearly the biophilic elements that we implemented in the project. This, together with a detailed description of what is intended, is very useful.

Our team used the documentation template to develop the project's biophilic design plan. In the plan we included the criteria, our approach and narrative description along with plans, photographs, and details of each design strategy implemented in the project.

We used the template to describe the general approach, stakeholders, design strategies and critical timing issues associated with each strategy. Also, we have prepared a document with renderings of the design strategies chosen to be implemented for the project.
