Cancer, including the most dreaded disease. This is because the disease is still very difficult to cure and requires quite a long time in healing. This situation makes people with cancer experience severe depression. Therefore we need a cancer hospital design that can reduce the level of depression.The purpose of this research is want to perform design exploration studies cancer hospital by applying Biophilic architectural concept that is expected to reduce the level of depression.The methods used there are three, namely the study of literature, precedent studies and field studies.The results showed that the concept can be applied to the design biophilic in waiting room, inpatient unit and site.
