Central indoor gardens designed to improve air quality and occupant health is an innovative architectural and biophilic design concept that integrates living plant systems within building interiors to create healthier indoor environments while simultaneously addressing contemporary challenges of urban air quality and human wellbeing. This sophisticated approach to indoor environmental quality combines principles of sustainable architecture, botanical science, and human-centered design to establish self-sustaining ecosystems that actively filter airborne pollutants, regulate humidity levels, and generate oxygen through natural biological processes. The design typically features a carefully curated selection of air-purifying plants, positioned strategically in a central atrium or core area of a building, often incorporating multiple levels or vertical gardens to maximize the interaction between plants and indoor air. These systems frequently employ advanced irrigation technologies, specialized growing media, and automated maintenance systems to ensure optimal plant health and performance. The concept has gained significant recognition in sustainable architecture circles, particularly as urban populations spend increasingly more time indoors, with some implementations demonstrating measurable improvements in indoor air quality metrics, including reduced volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter, and carbon dioxide levels. The effectiveness of these systems has been documented through various studies, showing potential benefits ranging from increased cognitive function and productivity to reduced stress levels among building occupants. As this design approach continues to evolve, it has become an important consideration in modern architectural planning, particularly for commercial and institutional buildings, and has been recognized in various design competitions, including the A' Design Award's architectural and interior design categories, where such innovations in sustainable building solutions are evaluated for their contribution to environmental quality and human health.
