In the new designs of the complexes, an attempt is made to use nature-friendly architectural patterns such as biophilic architecture in order to make the living space more desirable. In this research, the main goal is to improve the resilience of residential complexes using biophilic architectural patterns. The method of this research is a descriptive-analytical type, which was assessed through a questionnaire from residents and businesses. The findings show that the most important influencing components in physical-environmental resilience include "open spaces", "land-substrate and density", "access", "green spaces", "facilities and buildings", "property of uses". and "thermal comfort".The results of the questionnaires were analyzed with Python analysis, and as a result, biophilic design patterns and solutions that this approach, such as the use of green space, water, thermal balance, modification of climatic conditions, paying attention to the role of plants and nature in buildings and so on. .. was suggested.

Introduction
The close relationship between man and nature is inevitable in the field of human life. The more man's control over nature has increased, this connection has become weaker; So that in today's world, many mental and psychological problems of humans are caused by this separation. Architects and designers of the modern era have made this relationship less by building environments far from nature. The problem of being away from nature can be seen in the current buildings of Tehran. Although these buildings were built at different times and with different motivations and in different patterns, but according to the economic, political and social conditions governing the society and the housing sector, they do not necessarily have all the criteria for creating a desirable residential environment (Azizi and Mohammadnejad, 2016). In traditional architecture, the building can be covered with plants to create a green building, but in biophilic architecture, such a thing cannot happen, in this architecture, the form (shape) must interpret a large process and have many objective and subjective parameters.
"14 Biophilic Design Patterns", proposes the relationships between nature, human biology and environmental design in such a way that biophilic human benefits are experienced in design applications. (Browning, Hon. AIA, 2014: 3). This research, with the aim of promoting biophilic resilience in residential complexes in Tehran, examines and studies the resilience index in the example of Tehran Tower residential complex based on the opinions of residents and based on biophilic architecture, and raises the following main question:
-How can the physical-environmental resilience of Tehran Tower residential complex be strengthened by using the principles and elements of biophilic architecture?
And other questions are as follows:
- What is the current level of resilience of Tehran Tower residential complex?
- What are the suggested models of biophilic architecture in strengthening physical-environmental resilience?
Research Methodology
The approach of this research is applied in terms of purpose, descriptive-analytical in terms of method and nature. The methods of data collection at the macro level are through reference to scientific documents and texts. At the micro level, the method of experimental collection is the survey with questionnaire tools and mental maps of citizens and the collection of physical-environmental characteristics of the residential complex under study by trained researchers and observers. be The results of the questionnaire are determined by examining the results with existing theoretical foundations and Python analysis of the obtained data.
findings
By analyzing the results obtained from the questionnaires, it can be stated in Table 4:

Physical-environmental resilience indicators |
Response percentage |
Check the answers |
|
The state of the spaces (green space/open space) |
The desirability of the spaces is 52.31% (high) / 34.62% (moderate) Favorability according to the year of construction 43.08% (high) |
Examining the answers shows that the desirability of the space has a direct and meaningful relationship with the continuation of residence, interest in residence and participation in meetings in this place. Also, in relation to the level of security and participation in meetings, it makes the spaces desirable, but it is average. - In relation to public spaces, such as green space, interior spaces, the entrance of the towers, all are in an average and favorable condition. |
|
Incompatible uses |
Service centers 55.38% (moderate) / health and treatment centers 50.77% (high) Educational centers 56.15% (average) / uses inside the complex 52.31% (average) |
The answers show that the number of service uses in this complex is very low and according to the amount of residents of this tower, its uses are inconsistent. - The uses that exist in the complex have been able to respond to the needs of the residents of the complex to an average extent, the variety of these uses is very small and it meets a part of the basic needs. - The amount of variety of uses is very small considering the number of units in this complex. |
|
Ground and density |
Built density 47.69% (low) |
- The density built around the building is medium and low, and the entrance of the towers is in such a way that the density and the entrances are favorable; Because the area is completely private. The area intended for this complex is such that it provides enough space for the residents of the complex. - The streets around the complex have very low density in terms of density. |
|
Building resistance |
The desirability of the spaces is 52.31% (high) / 34.62% (moderate) Favorability according to the year of construction 43.08% (high) |
- Regarding the resistance of the building, it can depend on many factors, one of them is related to the equipment and their up-to-dateness. - The sense of security in this complex is very high, and the presence of security and control system has caused the amount of crime in this part to be insignificant, but due to the traffic of people in the areas of the towers, sometimes the security of the complex is in trouble. |
|
access |
Access ways to parking lots 44.62% (a lot)/ Escape ways 57.69% (a lot) Access to police force and fire brigade 60% (average) / access to park and green space 53.08% (average) |
- Due to its location next to the main highway of Hakim, Kurdistan and near the Hemet highway, this complex makes it easy to access other parts of the city. For this reason, the level of access is shown in the answers at a high level and is directly related to the desirability. -According to the answers received, the access to the parking lots of this complex is also desirable and the escape routes are also average. The degree of correlation between access to parking and escape routes and utility is appropriate. |
|
ownership |
The desirability of the spaces is 52.31% (high) / 34.62% (moderate) Favorability according to the year of construction 43.08% (high) |
- Most of the people living in this complex are owners and a small percentage are tenants. People who live in this complex have a moderate desire to move. - By examining the answers, it shows that people have a direct relationship with the desirability of the space and the feeling of living and continuing it. |
|
Facilities and facilities |
Equipment and infrastructure 48.46% (too much) |
- The facilities and facilities of these towers were repaired and modified since the year of construction, and the facilities and repairs unit located in this tower made them solve their facility problems in the shortest possible time. According to the answers given, the equipment and infrastructure are at an optimal level. - In the correlation diagram, there is a high correlation between up-to-date facilities and equipment and equipment for the disabled, and it shows the level of satisfaction of the residents. - There is a normal relationship between the up-to-dateness of the equipment and the interest of the residents to continue living, which indicates that it causes the satisfaction of the residents. |
Using Python analysis, the questionnaire data and the slope of the obtained line as well as their coefficients, we can draw the final form of the regression, and the black dots that are located in the upper part of the blue surface are weak points in resilience and indicate that this complex has low resilience.
Conclusion
The proposed patterns based on biophilic architecture to increase the resilience of this tower are as follows:
1. Open space: improving the use of plants and green spaces in complexes (in entrance spaces, play spaces, common spaces) / designing a green roof for the use of residents / using seasonal plants to show the changes of the seasons.
2. Green space: improving the use of plants and green space in complexes (in entrance spaces, play spaces, common spaces) / designing green roofs for the use of residents / using seasonal plants to show the changes of seasons / using green walls in interior decoration, Such as the entrance of houses, the entrance spaces of elevators, lobby, etc. / Using water and aromatic plants on the terrace / Using water in different spaces next to the plants and creating the sound of water / Using pots and houseplants on the terraces.
3. Appropriation of uses: the access to service centers, healthcare and educational centers is about 50%. The uses inside the complex are also desirable, the variety of uses is high.
4. Thermal comfort: use of natural ventilation using water and plants / use of natural light in the design of units / temperature and thermal balance / presence of green spaces for air conditioning and reducing air temperature / use of large and opening windows for better ventilation of units / The presence of water to touch and hear creates a feeling of relaxation / Creating suitable canopies to regulate the presence of light
5. Land-substrate-density: geographical relationship with place/historical relationship with place/ecological relationship with place/native materials
6. Facilities and buildings: use of natural patterns in construction / use of natural materials / attention to air conditioning and thermal comfort / use of native and organic forms
7. Access: creating a green access road to the parking lots/ easy access to the main roads In the end, it can be stated that with the biophilic architecture models presented to improve resilience and the final model of biophilic architecture models proposed to improve physical-environmental resilience (Figure 4) which was mentioned in the findings section, the level of resilience in residential complexes such as Tehran Tower can be increase and improve interest in living in them. These patterns can be used in the design of other residential complexes to achieve resilient residential complexes.
