ملخص المقالة :
This research provides a comprehensive exploration of ecosophy as a modern interdisciplinary concept in architecture, integrating ecological philosophy and psychology. The research problem focuses on examining how ecosophical principles can be effectively implemented in architectural design by emphasizing the interaction between humans and the environment. The central question is how ecosophy can transition from theoretical discourse to practical application in contemporary architecture. The study employs a descriptive-analytical method, utilizing both inductive and deductive reasoning. Key ecosophical attributes are identified through a literature review and the analysis of case studies that exemplify ecological, psychological, and socio-environmental harmony. The findings highlight the integration of cultural, psychological, and ecological elements in architectural design to enhance human-environment interactions. Furthermore, the research underscores the importance of incorporating natural elements such as daylight, greenery, and sustainable materials to promote physical and mental well-being. The study advocates for design strategies that align with ecological sustainability while respecting cultural and social contexts. By aligning ecosophical architecture with sustainability, environmental consciousness, and human well-being, this research moves beyond conventional functionalist approaches, positioning architecture as a medium for fostering meaningful and harmonious relationships between humans and nature. Ultimately, ecosophy offers innovative solutions in architecture that address contemporary environmental crises while enhancing spatial experience and ecological balance.
