The relationship between architecture and nature in most of the current architectural theories is mostly referring to sustainability. The biophilic design concept is the missing relation in sustainable design. Biophilic design, which combines natural features into the built environment, has increased attention in both the design and healthy activities in current cities. The purpose of this research is proposing framework of biophilic model based on the hot and dry climate in Iran. The research is qualitative. The research method Meta-Synthesis research. In order to analyze data, was used Nvivo software. In this research has been mentioned 64 open code. Also at finally was proposed four selective code and framework about biophilic space in a hot and dry climate in Iran.
