Full textAbstract:
<p>In 1984 E.O. Wilson (1984) introduced and popularized the <em>Biophilia</em> hypothesis defining <em>biophilia</em> as "the urge to affiliate with other forms of life" (Kellert & Wilson 1995: 416).<sup> </sup>Wilson’s <em>biophilia</em> hypothesis suggests that there is an instinctivebond between human beings and other living systems. More recently, in the USA, Browning <em>et al</em> (2014) have proposed ‘14 Patterns of Biophilic Design’ within a framework for linking the human biological sciences and nature to built environment design offering a series of tools for enriching design opportunities, and avenues for design applications as a way to effectively enhance the health and well-being of individuals and society. While <em>biophilia</em> is the theory, <em>biophilic design</em> as advocated by Kellert <em>et al</em> (2008) and Beatley (2010) internationally offers a sustainable design strategy that seeks to reconnect people with the ‘natural environment’. Overall, from what little research has been undertaken internationally in the last 10 years, there is a solid understanding as to the applied application of this theory, its principles and processes to built environment design and no research about to how to retrofit the existing urban fabric using this approach. This paper reviews the application of <em>biophilic design</em> in Australia, including the scope of design, health and wellbeing literature, the ‘14 Patterns of Biophilic Design’ and performative measures now unfolding, brings forward a new <em>Biophilic Design</em> Pattern, and considers the value the approach offers to built environment practice as well as to human and non-human occupants.</p>

In current century, cities face rapidly evolving challenges, including climate change, resource shortages, population growth and urbanization, and financial pressures. Biophilic urbanism is an emerging design principle capable of considering the multidimensional and interdependent complexities of urban systems and infrastructure, which through the use of natural design features, can meet society’s inherent need for contact with nature, and assist efforts to respond to these growing challenges. The purpose of this research is assessment Biophilic criteria in Iran metropolitan. In this research has been mentioned five criteria and 15 patterns. The quantitative and qualitative methods has been used. Data collection methods are observation and questionnaire. Also, has been used AHP method in order to comparison between criteria and patterns. Findings show the most important criteria is biodiversity in order to achieving biophilic neighborhood. Other principles are bio mimicry, prospect, and the sense of playfulness, enigmatic.

Full textAbstract:
The biophilic design promotes specific principles and patterns of nature-based solutions for health and well-being in the spaces we live and work. A growing body of literature advocates a more prominent role of nature in urban design and architecture, emphasizing the necessity of maintaining, enhancing, and restoring the beneficial experience of nature in the cities. Biophilia and nature-based solutions can improve the quality of built environment design and bring new opportunities to restore urban ecosystems and smart thinking for sustainable cities. The paper concludes that adopting biophilic principles in urban planning will lead to cities that can regenerate life and nurture end-users' health and well-being. Moreover, bring forward ways to transfer human nature ties' knowledge into restorative approaches to design the built environment.

Full textAbstract:
The last decade has witnessed an increasing focus on cities as they grow in population and shift in their function. Alongside, has been the emergence of the social movement of biophilic design. This approach to city design and the built environment is nature based and encourages the incorporation of nature, including plants, in a variety of principles called ‘biophilic design’. Biophilic design is being rapidly adopted globally as the multiple benefits are consistently revealed and reinforced. This is presenting new opportunities for the horticultural industry as the use of plants in cities increases in evolving and creative ways. This paper outlines the evolution of the social movement of biophilic design, the principles of implementation that have emerged and the multiple benefits that ensue.

Biophilic design approach aims at creating favorable conditions for humans in various types of anthropogenic environments, while at the same time restoring broken human–nature connection. The biophilic design guidelines and principles are general and flexible and allow wide array of architectural expressions. In order to better understand the architectural expression possibilities provided by biophilic design approach, the existing classifications of biophilic architecture and biophilic design examples were analyzed with the aim to develop the classification that would reflect the links between a building’s architectural expression and biophilic qualities. Three categories of biophilic architecture were distinguished in the developed classification: mimetic, applied, and organic. The distinguished categories were illustrated with the characteristic building examples and the evaluation of biophilic qualities and human-nature collaboration potential of these example buildings was carried out using comprehensive system of criteria. The analysis has demonstrated that all three distinguished categories—mimetic, applied, organic—allow for the creation of biophilic environments and hold the potential for human–nature collaboration, although organic biophilic design would be currently considered as the least developed, although most promising category.

Increasing nature and natural elements within a prison offers the potential to destress residents, improve mental health, cognitive functioning and learning; reduce recidivism and increase receptivity for behavioral change and restorative justice opportunities. Biophilic design is outlined as a set of principles, attributes and practices for cities to bring nature into urbanites’ daily life. The role of nature in restorative initiatives is traced back to the early work of innovative psychoanalyst, Eric Fromm, illustrating how his framework of human psychological pathways overlaps with biophilic design principles. Together, these approaches should provide new ways to improve the prison experience.

Abstract Natural day light has important qualities that we need for our physical comfort, biological health, and psychological wellbeing. Modern lighting addresses our physical need for light and human centric lighting our biological needs, but both lack qualities of natural daylight we need. The Design Principles for Natural Lighting references Biophilic design theory and focuses on our experience of light and its psychological effect through our senses. A model is proposed for composing natural light experiences practically and various examples assessed. NatureConnect is presented as a purposely designed lighting system based on the design principles and its approach discussed.

This article discusses the principles of biofilm design as a way to change a persons attitude to the surrounding space. As you know, plants have a positive effect on physical health, efficiency and productivity, as well as the emotional state of a person and participate in the creation of a harmonious interior. The biophilic direction in architecture and design seems to be the most promising, since it corresponds to the most relevant of all modern global trends based on the principles of sustainable development of society. Being a relatively new concept on the interior design scene, it has many advantages that need to be explored. It should be noted that biophilic design is more than just a powerful aesthetic, it is a design method that can improve human health and well-being, as well as the environment.

The field of biophilia focuses on the innate connection between humans and nature, seeking to promote well-being and quality of life. With this definition in mind, a literature review was undertaken to investigate its contributions to stimulating sustainability in creative projects. Therefore, the descriptors “biophilia” and “sustainability” were used to search the Scopus database from 2003 to 2020. After applying multiple filters, 22 articles were identified covering the themes of urban green spaces, urban biodiversity, gardens, green infrastructures, management of space resources, sustainable policies and certifications, and community environmental projects. It was concluded that the application of biophilic principles stimulate new projects in design, architecture, and urbanism that provide opportunities for the “restoration” of the body and mind, and that can also converge with sustainable aspects. Investigations in other databases are suggested for further understanding the subject, namely in the Brazilian scenario. Key words: biophilia, bioinspiration, sustainability, regenerative design, creative projects

Full textAbstract:
The research presented in this article adopts an urban sociology perspective to explore the relationship between spaces designed with biophilic principles and people’s pro-environmental values and behaviors. The research hypothesized that biophilic design and planning promote connectedness with nature and are positively related to pro-environmental and more sustainable values and behaviors. The contemporary city asserts the need for new paradigms and conceptual frameworks for reconfiguring the relationship between the urban environment and the natural environment. In order to understand whether biophilic design, planning, and policies can meet the global challenges regarding the future existence on earth of humans, focus groups were conducted to investigate how people’s relationship with the built-up space and the natural landscape is perceived, and to what extent the inclusion of nature and its patterns at various levels of urban planning meets people’s expectations. The results suggest that biophilic design and planning can be considered a useful paradigm to deal with the challenges that are posed by the city of the future, also in terms of sustainability, by reinterpreting and enhancing the human–nature relation in the urban context.

Bathing and playing in the river is not a new phenomenon for some people. But this experience creates a recreational spirit on the Tepusriver which is now better known as the Blue Lagoon. This area is a term for the settlement that is split a piece of the river in the dusun Ndalem Ngemplak Sleman. Its tributaries are clear and blue, surrounded by some springs with natural bamboo groves and old trees that invite local and around communities for recreation. The local community has anticipated it by responding to the communities’ demands as well as the recreation area. Appear sporadically “warungs” and recreational activities follow-up though not yet grown in conceptual. This paper aims to study the map of affordance and activity of previous research findings and could be used to the biophilic design to afford the health, productivity, and wellbeing in the tourism area. The method is by synthesizing the previous research findings in 2016, some relevant urban design theories, and biophilic design principle. The conclusion is paid attention to two main principles. The first principle is maximizing the utilization of existing natural properties and the existing cultural skills into its development to nourish visitors both physically and psychologically. The second principle is the Government, and Non-Government Organizations (i.e., expertise, academics, universities, investors) support, both policy and financially, in many sectors: tourism, environment, and infrastructure.

Purpose There has been limited investigation into how “biophilic design” (i.e. the integration of nature within the built environment) can be effectively used within the workplace to facilitate the process of psychological restoration. The purpose of this study was to focus, in particular, on the effectiveness of biophilic “restoration pods” in promoting recovery from stress. Design/methodology/approach A randomised field experiment was conducted. A total of 32 employees from a participating organisation completed two tests replicating typical office work (proofreading and arithmetic) and subjective ratings of stress, anxiety and task-load both before and after a 10-minute micro-break, taken in either the regeneration pods (treatment group) or an ordinary meeting room (control group). Findings The results showed that participants who took their break in the regeneration pod reported lower post-break anxiety and perceived task-load, and higher post-break arithmetic task performance, than the control group. Practical implications The findings suggest that purpose-built spaces for restoration within office buildings will be effective for helping employees to proactively manage their stress levels while at work. Biophilic design principles will enhance the effectiveness of these spaces, and this does not necessarily need to involve direct exposure to plants or views of nature. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first randomised field experiment to test the effectiveness of a purpose-built space for restoration within offices. Additionally, this paper explores different forms of biophilic design than previous studies.

The main purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the old modernist engineering technologies, such as single purpose stormwater infiltration basins, can be transformed into quality environments that integrate ecological and social functions and promote multiple sets of outcomes, including biodiversity restoration, water management, and cultural and recreational purposes, among other urban roles. Using the principles and theories of biophilic urbanism, regenerative design, and qualitative inquiry, this article analyzes and discusses the actors, drivers, strategies, constraints, and values motivating the stakeholders to reinvent Perth’s stormwater infrastructure through two local case studies. The “WGV sump park” was developed through a public-private partnership, including professional consultants with community input, and the “Green Swing sump garden” was an owner-builder community-driven project involving volunteers, who maintain it. The results of this research suggest that both projects are successful at managing stormwater in a way that creates multiple community and biodiversity benefits. Communities could gain improved access to nature, social interaction, health, and well-being if local governments support these alternative approaches to regenerate underutilized stormwater infrastructure by promoting biophilic interventions. Mainstreaming this design approach identified some issues that may arise during the implementation of this biophilic urban approach, and the paper suggests ways to enhance the wider delivery of regenerative and biophilic design into urban planning, involving volunteer delivery and maintenance for small scale projects and fully professional assessments for large scale projects.

Urban living style is associated with various negative impacts on human health, e.g. connected with the environmental problems. Thus, promoting health of urban population is nowadays one of the most challenging issues of the 21st century together with the growing needs for sustainable development and establishment of the biophilic or livable cities. It is increasing awareness among researchers and health practitioners of the potential benefits to the health from activities in natural settings and especially from regular contact with nature, which can be perceived as a preventive medical tool. This paper discusses the close relationship between the concepts of health-supporting landscapes and sustainability in modern cities based on literature review and case studies from EU, Russian and Australian projects. We first review the historical and modern paradigms (of the various disciplines) which determine the discourse in nature – human health and well-being research. This includes examination of Hippocrates «naturalistic history», Humboldt’s concept of natural garden design; Oertel ‘s ‘Terrain Kur’; «salutogenic approach» of Antonovsky; McHarg’s Design with Nature; Ecopolis programme, Wilson’s biophilia and some other approaches. Then there is a comparative analysis of structural similarities and differences in the past and current scientific schools devoted to understanding human – landscape interaction. One of the principal arguments is that nature also has another value for health, regardless of natural remedies. It includes, for example, the healing of space, outdoor training trails in parks, everyday use of urban green spaces and peri-urban recreation areas for sport and exercises. We provide an analysis of some examples based on the modern concepts of biophilic cities, therapeutic landscapes, healing gardens, green infrastructure and nature-based solutions. This article also discusses the main types of healing gardens and therapeutic landscapes and suggests the framework of design principles of healing and therapeutic landscapes. The analysis proved that healing gardens and therapeutic landscapes provide multiple benefits and can be regarded as nature-based solutions. These essential aspects of multifunctionality, multiculturality and social inclusion are well intertwined with the approach of biophilia.

In today's configuration of urban lifestyles, health and well-being have a multi-faceted impact on human lives and have gradually influenced tourism trends. The prevalence of COVID-19 has affected both physical and mental well-being. In this context, health has emerged as a significant component of tourism. Existing literature divides health tourism into two distinct types, namely, medical and wellness tourism. The presence of direct and indirect strategies linking individuals to the natural environment have been known to impart restorative benefits and significantly contribute to human well-being. However, recognition of potential correlations between tourist rehabilitation and biophilic design as a salutogenic model is limited with respect to wellness tourism, resulting in a lack of guidance for architects and designers. This paper aims to summarize prevailing literature on health benefits of biophilic principles through a systematic literature review, followed by compilation of a comprehensive conceptual framework. The research shall aid as a reference in utilizing restorative implications of the human-nature relationship in planning and designing of wellness tourism projects in the Indian context.

Full textAbstract:
The existing building stock is recognised as a major contributor to total energy consumption and related carbon emissions around the globe. There is increased attention on the retrofit of existing building stock, especially residential buildings, as a way of curbing energy consumption and carbon emissions. Within this context, human nature connectedness (HNC) has the potential of further amplifying the benefits of sustainable buildings both from an energy conservation practice and tangible improvements to users’ satisfaction, health, and wellbeing. This study attempts to show a case study of the potential of using HNC through the adoption of biophilic design principles to improve a residential building performance. A terrace house located in Sydney, NSW, was used as a case study and proposed retrofit scenarios were simulated with DesignBuilder® and Rhinoceros/Grasshopper with a view of improved daylighting, thermal comfort, and energy consumption. The building performance is improved in terms of daylighting, thermal comfort, and reduced energy consumption, additionally enhancing HNC.

This study aimed to identify key drivers behind workers’ satisfaction, perceived productivity, and health in open-plan offices while at the same time understanding design similarities shared by high-performance workspaces. Results from a dataset comprising a total of 8827 post-occupancy evaluation (POE) surveys conducted in 61 offices in Australia and a detailed analysis of a subset of 18 workspaces (n = 1949) are reported here. Combined, the database-level enquiry and the subset analysis helped identifying critical physical environment-related features with the highest correlation scores for perceived productivity, health, and overall comfort of the work area. Dataset-level analysis revealed large-size associations with spatial comfort, indoor air quality, building image and maintenance, noise distraction and privacy, visual comfort, personal control, and connection to the outdoor environment. All high-performance, open-plan offices presented a human-centered approach to interior design, purposely allocated spaces to support a variety of work-related tasks, and implemented biophilic design principles. These findings point to the importance of interior design in high-performance workspaces, especially in relation to open-plan offices.

Full textAbstract:
Arcosanti is a prototype city being built based on the visionary architect Paolo Soleri’s principles of Arcology which integrates architecture with ecology. Arcology proposes a compact three-dimensional urban form to provide a lean alternative to the unsustainable urban sprawl city form found in most of America. In its reduction of dependence on the automobile, reliance on pedestrian transportation, proximity to nature and proposal to have agriculture integrated into the city, Arcology is a vision of Green Urbanism. The design of Arcosanti incorporates Biophilic principles that preserve the biodiverse natural landscape, has a compact organic form, and functions with a circular metabolism that is analogous to nature when complete. Arcosanti, located in central Arizona, was begun in 1970 as an urban laboratory, and has been constructed by over 7,000 workshop volunteers over the past 45 years. Following Soleri's death in 2013, the Cosanti Foundation has established a Strategic Planning Steering Committee to help guide the continued development of Arcosanti as a prototype Arcology. The Strategic Plan will provide a framework for future organization and development. This article examines how the concept of Arcology and the development of the Arcosanti prototype encompasses principles of Green Urbanism and sustainable development.

Full textAbstract:
The fact that people spend a major part of their lifetime indoors, together with the lethal COVID-19 pandemic which caused people to spend even more time inside buildings, has drawn attention to the significance of achieving Agenda 2030 SD goal number three: good health and well-being, in reference to the indoor environment. The research subject is the health and well-being of building users explored through the sustainable (passive) design principles having an impact on the comfort and quality of the indoor environment. It is set within a regenerative sustainability framework encompassing the physiological, biophilic, psychological and social aspects of comfort. The Comfort Assessment Model’s categories, to some extent, rely on the first author’s doctoral thesis, with further modifications regarding the passive design criteria and indicators. A comparative analysis of the model with international sustainability certification (rating) systems has been performed, proving the significance of introducing more passive design comfort (health) related criteria into sustainability assessment models. In addition, a focus group of expert architects contributed to the research conclusions by responding to a questionnaire addressing the issues of sustainability, comfort and passive design, in terms of the health and well-being of building users, which confirmed the relevance of applied passive design measures for providing comfort indoors and fulfilling sustainable development goals.

Full textAbstract:
In the past decade, there has been a growing trend toward conservation and management of wildlife and the environment. Growing suburban development has increased displacement of native animals from their natural habitats; thus, there is an ever-increasing need to manage not only existing forests and large land holdings for wildlife but also developed land areas. The idea of “backyard habitat” gardening and the “green movement” in golf course design address these issues of wildlife habitat and provide design solutions that hail the growing need for natural habitats. The same principles also can be used in commercial landscape design and ultimately in reclaiming grazing pasture land for dual habitat by farm animals and native wildlife. Just as the “American Lawn” provides minimal support for wildlife due to its lack of diversity, the manicured pasture of the American farm can also be limiting for wildlife. Providing areas of cover for nesting and protection can benefit the “kept” and “unkept” animals inhabiting the area. Furthermore, the biophilic landscape provides a psychologically healthy biosphere for the personnel working on the farm. In designing landscape plans with the primary goal of aesthetic enhancement of university experimental research farms, the principals of water conservation, integrated pest management, and providing wildlife cover and food are applied to develop an aesthetically pleasing design that also provides habitat for displaced wildlife. The intent of the project is to explore the possibilities in designing successful habitats for wildlife while preserving the ultimate goal of livestock production. Implementing successful ecologically sound landscapes enable the land-grant university to teach the public the benefits of wildlife conservation and the importance of its incorporation to all aspects of land use.

Humans are essential can not be separated from nature because humans rely heavily on nature for their survival. Currently including natural elements in the design of a building has become a lifestyle and trend, as seen in some commercial buildings, such as Hotels, Shopping Malls that take the theme of nature. Healthy Plaza Avenue is a planned shopping center to fulfill facilities in Kota Baru Parahyangan, a new residential neighborhood that has a vision of an independent green city. Healthy Plaza Avenue design method starts from problem formulation, data collection, design process, and design products. Nature in the space and Nature of the space are two of the three categories of biophilic design principles that are considered to be appropriately applied to the design of Healthy Plaza Avenue. The application of the principles of Nature in the space and nature of the space is seen in the Atrium by placing ornamental plants and shade trees equipped with waterways that boil in the Event Plaza. While in the outside area is a planned Rain Garden that serves in addition to adding beauty also as a catchment and recycling area for the needs of the building. In addition, hanging plants are also placed on the façade of the building to reflect the green elements so that Healthy Plaza Avenue can be harmonious with the environment. It is hoped that the concept of Nature in the Space and Nature of the Space can be in line with the vision of Kota Baru Parahyangan as an independent city that maintains its environmental beauty.

Humans are social creatures who live and need each other. Humans form a family and live together in a space. The number of human population in the world is increasing every year, especially in big cities. The increasing population causes an imbalance between the needs and the available energy, land supply in large urban areas in Indonesia such as Jakarta. City food supply relies on external sources, the distribution causing increased greenhouse gas emissions. Papanggo itself is a densely populated area that has a medium to low economic level with a low level of productivity of its citizens. Based on the Indonesian Statistics Center in 2020, the Papanggo area in North Jakarta recorded a population of 46,141 people with a total area of 2.80 km2. Judging from these data, Papanggo is a dense area in Jakarta with a population density of 16,478.9 people/km2 and only a small proportion of its residents work as urban farmers. From several problems that exist in Papanggo, an approach is carried out starting from the observation stage, then continued with site analysis. The program is processed using a place contextual method, cross-programming, and biophilic design methods. Biophilic principles that respect nature can provide comfort and a sense of security, is expected to increase users’ productivity and health. The conclusion of this project is to try to provide new vertical residential space in Papanggo so that city residents can live and remain productive in producing energy and food independently by utilizing local natural and human resources. Keywords: Biophilic; Papanggo; ResidenceAbstrak Manusia merupakan makhluk sosial yang hidup berkelompok dan saling membutuhkan satu sama lain. Manusia membentuk sebuah keluarga dan hidup bersama di dalam satu ruang lingkup hunian. Angka populasi manusia di dunia semakin meningkat tiap tahunnya terutama di pusat kota besar. Jumlah penduduk yang meningkat menyebabkan ketidakseimbangan antara kebutuhan warga kota dengan pasokan energi dan lahan yang tersedia di perkotaan besar di Indonesia seperti Jakarta. Pasokan pangan warga kota mengandalkan sumber dari luar atau pinggiran kota, yang distribusinya menghasilkan peningkatan emisi gas rumah kaca. Papanggo, Jakarta Utara sendiri merupakan daerah padat penduduk yang memiliki tingkat ekonomi menengah ke rendah dengan tingkat produktivitas warganya yang kurang. Berdasarkan Pusat Statistik Indonesia pada tahun 2020, daerah Papanggo yang berada di Tanjung Priok, Jakarta Utara mencatat jumlah penduduk sebesar 46.141 jiwa dengan luas total 2,80 km2. Ditinjau dari data tersebut, Papanggo merupakan daerah yang cukup padat di DKI Jakarta dengan kepadatan penduduk 16.478,9 jiwa/km2 dan hanya sebagian kecil warganya bekerja sebagai petani kota. Dari beberapa masalah yang ada di Papanggo, dilakukan pendekatan dimulai dari tahap observasi, lalu dilanjutkan dengan analisis tapak. Program diolah dengan metode kontekstual tempat, cross programing, sedangkan penerapan metode desain biophilic. Prinsip Biophilic yang menghargai alam dapat memberikan kenyamanan dan rasa aman, diharapkan dapat meningkatkan produktivitas dan kesehatan fisik maupun psikis pengguna. Kesimpulan pada proyek bangunan ini adalah dengan berusaha memberikan ruang hunian vertikal baru pada Kawasan Papanggo agar warga kota bisa tinggal dan tetap produktif menghasilkan energi dan bahan pangan secara mandiri dengan memanfaatkan sumber daya alam dan manusia setempat.

Abstract This paper provides a review of the key research efforts that provide evidence of the economic benefits associated with plants and improved landscaped areas and the tools for assessing their monetary worth. These benefits may persuade reluctant residential homeowners to purchase plants and improve their landscapes, aid municipal leaders and policymakers in justifying green infrastructure-related funding decisions, and provide grounds for the construction industry for using biophilic design principles to ensure the built environment offers opportunities for green space interactions. In this way, the green industry can play a pivotal role not only in providing plants of high quality for these applications, but in educating stakeholders regarding the benefits discussed herein. This research should also be strategically incorporated into both industry-wide and firm-specific marketing messages that highlight the quality-of-life value proposition in order to maintain the industry's sense of value and relevance to residential landscape consumers of the future. If implemented effectively, the demand for green industry products and services may be affected positively.

Urban life especially Jakarta is inseparable from daily activities such as work, school, etc. Routines that are carried out repeatedly cause people to become bored and stressed which affects their performance, therefore it is important to have activities like entertainment to relieve fatigue, and stress. In North Kedoya interaction between neighbors is very lacking because of reluctance and feel strange, lack of joint activities and places to interact causing contact between people become less, on the other hand kedoya district has potential that many ornamental plants sold and traded and cultivated, these plants become a special attraction in the area so Interactive Ornamental Plants Facility Project proposed to be able to accommodate the needs of local residents, and become a place for all people to meet and interact with each other by playing together while reviving the identity of ornamental plants in the region. Project programs such as multipurpose room, gallery of ornamental plants, ornamental plant installations, ornamental plant gardens, board games and tables games, dining areas integrated with ornamental plants, and virtual park. The design process uses phenomenological methods and biophilic design concepts by using 3 biophilic main principles Nature In Space, Natural Analogue, and Nature Of Space and using ornamental plants as its elements. It is hoped that this project can become a node to meet and interact not only with others but also with nature which can have a positive impact on health, comfort and provide entertainment for the residents of North Kedoya. Keywords: ornamental plants; interaction; interactive; north kedoya; recreation Abstrak Kehidupan perkotaan khususnya Jakarta tidak lepas dari kegiatan sehari - hari seperti bekerja, bersekolah, dan lain - lain. Rutinitas yang dilakukan berulang kali menyebabkan orang merasa jenuh dan stress yang kemudian berpengaruh bagi kinerja seseorang, maka dari itu penting adanya aktivitas yang bersifat hiburan untuk melepas penat, dan stress. Di Kedoya Utara interaksi antar sesama tetangga sangatlah kurang dikarenakan rasa enggan dan asing, kurang adanya aktivitas bersama dan tempat untuk berinteraksi menyebabkan kontak antar sesama menjadi kurang, di satu sisi kawasan kedoya ini sendiri memiliki potensi yaitu banyaknya tanaman hias yang di perjual belikan dan dibudidayakan, tanaman – tanaman ini menjadi daya tarik tersendiri di kedoya sehingga diusulkan Proyek Fasilitas Rekreasi Interaktif Tanaman Hias menjadi tempat untuk dapat mewadahi kebutuhan warga setempat khususnya yang bersifat hiburan dan menjadi tempat bagi semua kalangan untuk bertemu dan saling berinteraksi dengan bermain bersama sekaligus menghidupkan identitas tanaman hias pada kawasan. Program proyek berupa ruang serba guna, gallery tanaman hias kering, instalasi tanaman hias, taman tanaman hias, area permainan papan dan meja, tempat makan yang terintegrasi dengan tanaman hias, dan taman virtual. Proses perancangan menggunakan metode fenomenologi dan konsep desain biofilik dengan mengambil 3 prinsip utamanya yaitu Nature In Space, Natural Analogue, dan Nature Of Space dan menggunakan tanaman hias sebagai elemennya. Diharapkan proyek ini dapat menjadi titik simpul untuk bertemu dan berinteraksi tidak hanya dengan sesama namun juga dengan alam yang dapat berdampak positif bagi kesehatan, kenyamanan dan memberikan hiburan bagi warga Kedoya Utara.

Full textAbstract:
The analysis of scientific sources identifies one of the main concepts of modernity in secondary school design. This concept changes the model of teaching students with special health conditions. Professor Stephen R. Kellert from Yale university offered a study which revealed the content of the basic means of nature cognition in the constructed environment. They are as follows: 1) direct experience of natural phenomena (natural light, fresh air, water and plants); 2) indirect experience of natural elements (the use of natural materials, natural shaping elements and images of nature); 3) experience of space and place (perspective of the chosen place, organized complexity of the area, clear and visible transitional spaces). The influence of expressive artistic and technologically innovative methods on educational space modeling is determined to rise while designing a modern school. These methods are based on the principle of flowing the internal space into the external space. The importance of landscape areas designing in the school outdoor space located around the perimeter of the school, allows to feel the benefits of individual and group learning outdoors, giving a sense of protection to students with autism spectrum. Thus, the study revealed that, with the introduction of biophilic design concept, the formation of educational space allows to obtain the following results: 1) increase of attendance; 2) higher results in educational material assimilation; 3) higher level of assessment; 4) improvement of norms of behavior; 5) reducing of stress level; 6) raising of environmental education level through the actualization of the visual, tactile, behavioral and social aspects; 7) improving of creative activity of students; 8) active development of subjective attitude to nature and its components through the introduction of the model of ecologically oriented learning process.

Kelurahan Marunda was once a place which known for its Betawi culture in Jakarta. The existence of Museum Si Pitung in the area reflected the Betawi culture, sourced from its folklores (of Betawi culture). However in present day, Kelurahan Marunda is now more one of Jakarta’s Industrial Area. As in writer’s opinion, it is important to keep Kelurahan Marunda famous for its Betawi culture, in order to keep the Betawi identity of Kelurahan Marunda itself. The site the writer chose is near from Pantai Marunda, known locally as ‘Tempat Wisata/Recreational Place’, which until now still frequently visited by publics. Considering the site of the writer chose, therefore the writer looks up to the theory of Biophilic Design. The writer propose to build an area with Betawi Culture Concept in Coastof Kelurahan Marunda with 3 main activity programs as: The traditional art conservation activities, for example dancing arts, musics, theatres and matrial arts. Next memorabilia conservation activities, putting in bold of water recreation conservation activities in the Coast of Marunda.Also there are activities which contain Betawi Culture’s image conservation, in this will be bolding the culinary and accessories sectors out. The above-proposed Betawi Culture tourism area is definitely important for Marunda Area, because it will also creates working opportunities for the locals, and the most important once more is to keep the Betawi identity in Marunda itself. Keywords: Betawi Culture Art; Betawi Coastal; Eco-Tourism Principles AbstrakKelurahan Marunda merupakan tempat yang kental terhadap budaya Betawi di Jakarta. Adanya bangunan Museum Si Pitung di kawasan Marunda melambangkan adanya cerita di Marunda yang mengacu pada cerita-cerita budaya Betawi. Namun di masa sekarang, Marunda menjadi bagian kawasan industri di Jakarta. Saya berpendapat bahwa sangat pentinglah adanya suatu kawasan di Marunda yang masih berpegang teguh pada kebudayaan Betawi, untuk mempertahankan identitas asli kawasan Marunda. Tapak yang terpilih berada di Pantai Marunda, tapak ini merupakan tempat wisata di Marunda yang masih kerap dikunjungi oleh warga. Dengan teori perancangan biofilik desain. Maka dari itu, penulis mengusulkan untuk membangun sebuah kawasan dengan konsep Betawi Pesisir di wilayah Marunda dengan menentukan 3 program aktivitas utama dalam kawasan dan juga menentukan zonasi pada tapak antara lain adalah. Aktivitas pelestarian kesenian, seperti kesenian tari, musik, teater, dan juga pencak silat. Ada juga aktivitas pelestarian memoribilia, yang di dalamnya merupakan zona yang berfokus pada pelestarian rekreasi air, dimana adanya kegiatan yang berkaitan dengan penduduk Betawi Pesisir di kawasan Marunda. Dan yang terakhir adalah aktivitas pelestarian citra, dalam zona ini lebih mengacu kepada pelestarian kuliner dan aksesoris. Proyek kawasan pariwisata kebudayaan Betawi Pesisir ini sangatlah baik untuk wilayah Marunda. Karena dapat menciptakan lapangan pekerjaan, dan juga mempertahankan identitas Betawi Pesisir di Marunda.

Full textAbstract:
<p>An astonishing intense fascination is under way in the design sciences, where the words of ‘living structures’ and ‘adaptive’ are being linked with ‘technology. In part fuelled by the emergence of the Anthropocene discourse, these words are inspiring authoritative new insights into the workings of wild nature, humanity’s position and responsibility to planet Earth, and is being articulated through the rapidly increasing science of pattern theory. The new terminology is provoking the design sciences to seriously consider technologically-informed innovation in design and new possibilities including living technology, morphogenetic sequences, self-organisation, generative codes, biophilia, biomimetics and regenerative-adaptive design, opening the doors to a new era in ecology-informed design. The idea of design as an adaptive and transformation process, is at the core of the whole systems theory pioneered by Alexander in <em>A Pattern Language</em> (1977) and <em>The Nature of Order</em> (2001-2005). Alexander positioned this hypothesis in generative codes supported by morphogenetic sequences. Drawing upon Alexander’s <em>The Nature of Order</em> (2001-2005), this paper advances a regenerative-adaptive design theory (Roӧs, 2016), towards a holistic integrated design method that incorporates the principles of regenerative design with an adaptive pattern language that re-establishes human wholeness with nature and offers relevant strategies towards resilience; in essence creating a living technology. </p>

Full textAbstract:
Nature-Based Solutions are defined as infrastructures or systems which are inspired by, supported by, or copied from nature. This biophilic leitmotif has rapidly permeated and been prescribed in many fields, particularly in urban and architectural design, stimulating an invasion of green rhetorics not necessarily founded on genuine ecological performing. In this context, this article explores current gaps in the epistemology and rhetorics of NBS, expanding the field with alternative narratives such as cycle-based design and micro-scalar or process-oriented approaches. The concept of redundancy is here presented as a non-observable, still nature-based principle, already applied in disparate scientific fields such as information theory, cybernetics, or evolutionary biology, and introduced in design fields from a theoretical perspective. Novel applicability of the term will be articulated from design perspectives through various case studies, using a multi-scalar scope and concluding in a tentative taxonomy. Redundancy entails a shift from grammar-based to syntax-based design logics. Morphological redundancy is presented as an upgrade of NBS rhetorics, delivering a more advanced understanding of the hidden choreographies of nature.

Full textAbstract:
Make your collections memorable and accessible to audiences of all abilities by incorporating the principles of universal design (UD) in your museum exhibits. Universal design provides equitable access to resources, much the way that curb cuts improve access to roads and sidewalks. Museums spend considerable effort protecting specimens from agents of deterioration but this usually means that only one sense - vision - is employed in our exhibits. Providing greater accessibility may seem daunting, expensive, or dangerous for specimens but, by considering a few principles during exhibit development, UD is readily implemented and can make displays more effective than ever for people of all abilities, levels of understanding, and backgrounds. This is because UD goes beyond simple accessibility, it generates innovative solutions through the creative application of seven basic principles: equitable use, flexibility in use, simple and intuitive use, perceptible information, tolerance for error, low physical effort, and effective size and space for approach and use. We will discuss how the principles of UD are fundamental to good exhibit design and can be especially effective in a natural history setting - both in the gallery as well as the classroom - because we can use authentic objects that are largely identical to the display specimens. Such authentic and multisensory products encourage empathy and biophilia, increase specimen and visitor safety, and improve overall quality of service. We will also show how our institution has incorporated students into the process of design, evaluation, and construction of UD exhibits as a way to both include diverse perspectives in the design process and as a way to train science communicators of all kinds.

From the start of this century there has been a proliferation not only in the study of neurosciences and the physiology of perception/emotion, but also in its dissemination. This has resulted in countless programs, courses, etc., that pretend to help the designer, be it architectural, advertising, product, packaging or others (Ulrich, R. S. 1999) to appropriately impact the experience of the end user; tendencies such as biophilia, neuromarketing, user centered design, the influence of color in a space (Aseel AL-Ayash, Robert T. Kane, Dianne Smith, Paul Green-Armytage, 2016), or the impact on behavior and the brain when observing works of art (Kendall J. Eskine, Natalie A. Kacinik, Jesse J. Prinz, 2012), are intended to give us answers based on the neurology and physiology of perception/emotion. Nevertheless, it is hard to separate science from pseudoscience, and even to organize into a useful model the copious scientific information available. The objective is to present a theoretical model that incorporates and synthesizes the state of knowledge in this field, to facilitate its application in the diverse art and design disciplines; this will help both the creator-artist to have a better understanding of their process and comprehension of their work, as well as the designer, to be able to predict the impact their projects will have upon the audience they are directed towards. We are talking from photographers and painters, to architects and illustrators, etc. The methodology consists mainly in the exegesis — and organization of the material resulting thereof — of basic text on this field. In this talk, we present the Theory of Emotive Reactions model, that has been developing in Tijuana since the beginning of this century, we give a shallow explanation of its scientific foundations, we point out its correlation with the state of knowledge and we present the basic principles for its application in the diverse artistic and design disciplines.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to problematise the dominant conceptualisation of entrepreneurship by recognising the everyday resistance inherent in mundane entrepreneurial practices. Its principle purpose is to show how entrepreneurial activities enacted by ordinary individuals in a marginalised and oppressed context can be an important means of resisting economic adversity, social marginalisation and political (colonial) domination. Design/methodology/approach Framed within de Certeau’s conceptualisation of the practices of everyday life, this study utilises a “focussed ethnography”, relying on “participant observation” and “informal interviews”, to explore the perceptions and experiences of Palestinian women street vendors, and how they use everyday entrepreneurial practices in the open-air market of the Old City of Jerusalem to become socially and politically empowered. Findings The arguments in this paper demonstrate how marginalised Palestinian women, who are equipped with a genuine critical vision of their reality and a biophiliac attitude, use entrepreneuring to enact new possibilities for themselves and for their families. Through their entrepreneurial act of street vending, these women exemplify a struggle against economic and socio-political constraints, transforming the act of entrepreneuring from a mere economic practice to an all-encompassing human project, one with a more human face. Originality/value This paper extends the argument for the complex and dynamic nature of the phenomenon and exposes its political nature, hitherto inadequately addressed in existing literature, as well as uncovers the potential of entrepreneurialism to enhance individual empowerment and contribute to meaningful social change. In addition, it addresses the need for scholarly work that focuses on the everyday entrepreneurial activities carried out by ordinary individuals experiencing various forms of oppression in new and challenging spaces, which are seldom acknowledged within the dominant theoretical and research frameworks.

Full textAbstract:
1. INTRODUCTION The R. W. Kern Center In 2016 the R.W. Kern Center became Hampshire College's first new building in 40 years (Figure 1). Located at the heart of the Hampshire College campus, the R.W. Kern Center is a multi-purpose facility intended to embody a high threshold of forward- thinking sustainable design: generating its own energy; capturing and treating its own water; and processing and recycling its waste. Its design also embodies a broader definition of “green” building, prioritizing non-toxic materials, local and ethical products, and principals of biophilia and natural beauty. The new building, which includes classrooms, offices, and a community café and gallery, serves as a primary entry point to the campus and was designed to engage prospective students as well as provide community space. In the spring of 2018, the Kern Center became the 17th building to be certified and meet the Living Building Challenge (LBC) (International Living Future Institute, 2018a) after a year of post-occupancy performance verification. At 17,000 square feet, it is the largest Living Building on a higher education campus and considering the relatively small size of the college (~1300 students) it showcases Hampshire College's substantial commitment to sustainable design and development. The Living Building Challenge A program of the International Living Future Institute, the Living Building Challenge is a building certification system and sustainable design framework for creating built environments that have a positive impact on people and the environment (International Living Future Institute, 2018a). The Challenge is organized into seven performance areas covering different aspects of holistic sustainable design: place, water, energy, health + happiness, materials, equity, and beauty. In order to achieve “Living” status, projects must fulfill all imperatives in each of these categories. Hampshire College Hampshire College is an innovative private college in Amherst, Massachusetts. The academic program is highly dynamic and interdisciplinary, emphasizing an inquiry-based and learner-centered liberal arts education. Students are empowered to think, discover, advocate, and build essential skills through an individualized divisional system utilizing portfolios, narrative evaluations, and self-reflection. The College's motto, Non Satis Scire (To Know is Not Enough), is a call to action for students, as well as the institution. It is not enough for colleges and universities to merely educate students on issues of sustainability or environmental and social justice; Hampshire College has the added responsibility of applying this knowledge in all of its operations. The R.W. Kern Center embodies the commitment to environmental sustainability at Hampshire and is a powerful example of the dynamic role sustainable design can play in educating the next generation of sustainability leaders.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Biophilia is becoming an important theme in contemporary design practice. Research in this area has demonstrated measurable improvements in human health and wellbeing when built environments are able to connect people to nature. However, there is much debate about how design students can best learn to fluidly implement biophilic principles in their work. Purpose: This article describes an action research study conducted by design educators to evaluate experiential learning techniques in health care–focused interior design studio courses. The goal was to improve students’ creative synthesis in applying biophilic principles. Methodology/Approach: The author followed the four steps of action research—planning, action, observation, and reflection—in developing and evaluating a new experiential learning framework. An observational approach was used to assess student projects and the effectiveness of these teaching methods. Findings/Conclusions: Students who participated in the experiential learning activities demonstrated a relatively higher degree of holistic integration of biophilic principles in their design projects. Implications: While the observational findings are provisional evidence, these results provide insights into the advantages that experiential pedagogies may have in helping students to integrate and apply design knowledge. The ability to connect biophilic design principles to direct personal experiences appears to enhance creative synthesis in student work.

Full textAbstract:
This article considers biophilic blended festivalscapes through an examination of relevant academic literature and secondary sources, whilst examining ‘Kiwiburn: New Zealand’s regional Burning Man event’ as a case study. A ‘biophilic festival’ can be understood as a festival that uses nature to construct or influence the embodied experiences of participants through their emotional responses, in a way that enhances positive mind-body-environment connections and promotion of biophilia. Examining Kiwiburn through the limitations of a literature review is an attempt to initiate a conversation about biophilia in connection to contemporary festivals. Kiwiburn provides a useful example of how biophilic festivals can be structured to foster sustainability, through mind-body-environment relationships. This article will be considering what principles and design features built into Kiwiburn are intended to drive positive ecological perceptions and practices within its participants; and, whether these biophilic elements have the potential for extension into the everyday lives of festival participants in broader society.

AbstractThe purpose of the study is to identify the main indicators and aspects for applying biophilic and smart solutions in city planning and design to achieve urban resilience. This research investigates the main definitions, elements, and attributes for biophilic design and smart city planning that help in developing resilience strategies for healthier urban environments. This study follows a methodology that comprises two approaches; first a concise review definition and principles of urban resilience. Then investigating the notions of biophilic and smart approaches to achieve healthier urban environments. Second, an analytical approach that proposes a framework for applying biophilic and smart city indicators to achieve urban resilience. The proposed framework highlights the achieved adaptive capacities for resilient cities due to adopting biophilic and smart solutions. The research results highlight a proposed relationship between principles of urban resilience, biophilic city indicators, and smart city indicators.

Full textAbstract:
Designing school settings that provide a satisfying experience of nature and enhance well-being could be advantageous for children and teachers, though in cold climates prolonged periods of precipitation, restricted sunshine and low temperatures represent non-ideal conditions for fostering a connection with nature. This paper reviews research into the relationships between principles of biophilic design and well-being, with specific consideration for learning environments in cold climates. Children spend more time in school than any other place, except the home, and most of their learning activities occur indoors. Given the large portion of the day children and teachers spend within the built environment, an architect's perspective investigates these relationships. The paper examines the concepts and research findings that appear to offer the greatest potential for future architectural applications in children's learning environments. It also identifies gaps in biophilic design strategies in relation to schools and the importance of considering climatic conditions to create satisfying experiences of nature within the built environment. If biophilic design research is to lead to healthier, more comfortable school settings that present a greater connection between learning spaces and the natural environment, then to identify and define beneficial guidelines that translate readily into architecture is essential.

Full textAbstract:
University Campuses remain important settings for nurturing and supporting student health and quality of life (QoL). Research shows the health benefits of nature experiences may be facilitated by campus spaces and activities that afford connectedness. Connectedness to nature, others, and self may allow students to cope with mental fatigue, stress, and a constant need for restoration. Despite recent encouraging trends, we still lack an integrative conceptual framework to describe the mechanisms involved in achieving connectedness for making recommendations for campus design. In this conceptual review, we examine students’ connectedness in campus settings in relation to biophilic elements and attributes. We aim to understand how both direct and indirect pursuits in nature and also place-based experiences on campus foster connectedness and consequently impact students’ health and QoL. Our analysis shows that connectedness seen through the lens of Kellert’s biophilic design principles and aided by Alexander’s pattern language provides a relational and long-term perspective on recommending strategies for connecting students to nature, to others, and to themselves in campus settings.

"Nature Experiences of Older People for Active Ageing: An Interdisciplinary Approach to the Co-Design of Community Gardens." Frontiers in Psychology 12 (September 27, 2021). http://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.702525.
Full textAbstract:
In Western countries, the concepts of healthy ageing and active ageing, that is, concepts that favour health, participation, and security to increase the quality of life of older people, have become key issues. Hence, the effective design of public green spaces in urban areas is crucial, as visiting these areas encourages social relations and interactions in natural, healthy contexts. Consistent with these perspectives, existing landscape design criteria emphasise the importance of considering not only the functional and aesthetic elements, but also the ecosystemic and biophilic relationships between people and the environment, producing positive effects for both. To maximise the impact of such design criteria, proper engagement strategies are desirable, both to assign an active role to older people themselves and to inform the fine-tuning of the design process according to the specific needs of the local population. This study presents an interdisciplinary co-design method that encourages and informs a biophilic approach by describing the experiences of people in natural environments, actual and designed, through the application of attention restoration theory (ART). The case study was developed through six focus group meetings with older people for the co-design of a restorative area in a community garden in the Ortica district in Milan (Italy). Results show how the main needs expressed by participants can be classified into the ART factors of “compatibility” (a multifunctional garden), “fascination” (sense of contact with nature), and “being away” (metaphorical escape from nursing homes). The garden designed includes biophilic principles that respond to such needs, and specific links with designed elements were identified. For example, “being away” (e.g., isolation from daily routine and visual occlusion of the surroundings) and “compatibility” (e.g., pergola and aesthetic value) are the factors that include the elements that more satisfactorily answer previous needs. “Fascination” also includes many positive aspects, allowing space for improvements (e.g., more water elements, interaction with animals). Implications of the method are discussed, including the importance of subjective experience in informing design, the use of different psychological constructs to describe it, and the methodological alternatives for psychological assessment.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose From poor indoor environmental quality conditions to musculoskeletal discomfort, the interior design of workspaces has the potential to negatively affect human health. One of the key responses from industry has been the rise of health-related guidelines, certification and rating tools. Despite the rapid adoption of such tools by the Australian high-end corporate real estate, there is a scarcity of empirical evidence arising from such premises. This study aims to compare results from certified premises against other open-plan offices to understand differences arising from occupants’ satisfaction, perceived productivity and health. Design/methodology/approach A total of 1,121 post-occupancy evaluation (POE) surveys conducted in 9 offices were analyzed. All these premises hold a certification from the Green Building Council of Australia and two achieved a WELL rating. The analysis is performed in three parts: comparing WELL-certified (2 cases) and non-WELL certified (7 cases) offices along with comparison with a benchmark of 9,794 POE surveys from the BOSSA database, comparing activity-based working (ABW) (5 cases) and traditional (4 cases) offices along with comparison with BOSSA database and qualitative study of the similar design features in all 9 offices accompanied with an in-depth analysis of the health-related issues that might have occurred because of poor ergonomic design. For the first two parts, several t-tests are performed. Findings Highest scores for overall satisfaction, workability, perceived productivity and health were reported on WELL-rated premises. Offices incorporating active design principles outperformed others on workability, satisfaction with work area, collaboration, unwanted interruptions, perceived productivity and health. ABW environments outperformed the traditional offices on spatial comfort, thermal comfort, noise and privacy, personal control, comfort of furnishing, adjustability of the work area and space to collaborate. People using sit–stand workstations reported spending significantly less time seated and female workers were more prone to reporting pain over the past 12 months. The best-performing offices implemented active and biophilic design, prioritized overall ergonomics and different spaces designed to support a variety of work-related activities. Originality/value This research conducts a comparison between certified premises against other offices in terms of occupants’ satisfaction, perceived productivity and health. A qualitative analysis is also conducted to investigate personal and physical environmental aspects. The way of working (ABW or traditional), implementation of active design features, self-reported musculoskeletal discomfort and physical activity were also investigated. The study has taken a holistic approach to investigate many health-related physical, environmental and emotional aspects in certified workspaces.

In this study, architecture/design projects provided greater connection between people and nature, through technology. For this, we addressed the principles of biophilia and neuroscience and built the basis for the generation and improvement of creations. The participants developed parametric projects inspired by nature, which were tested with sensors, to correct the initial proposals and then reinserted in the projects. Under the conceptualization of concepts related to biodesign, biophilia and neuroscience, we used visual technologies such as programming, artificial intelligence (AI), neurophysiological sensing and augmented reality (under a scientific methodology) to analyze based on quantitative data the relationship of visual perception human, digital and morphology, with well-being indicators. Dynamic one of the study objectives was the creation of projects inspired by nature and, for this, use high computational technology that allowed reproduce natural patterns, emulate complex and hierarchical arrangements, calculate natural growth, work with seasonal changes and variations, etc. We conducted the study in three stages. In the first, we presented principles of biophilia and neuroscience, and the participants began to design and model parametrically, after an introductory lesson in Rhinoceros and Grasshopper. In the second part, the projects were tested with sensors and artificial intelligence systems that provided results that were evaluated, so that in the third stage, a remodeling and final measurement would be carried out. The results of the papers were presented in high resolution images and commented in a final evaluation with the participation of all. Details of what the study were: at first, the participants invited to the study carried out parametric designs inspired by nature, using the software Rhinoceros and Grasshopper, in order to positively stimulate those who observed the result. These projects were then tested through facial expression analysis using artificial intelligence. An Artificial Neural Network (RNN) analyzed the facial expressions of the participants from videos recorded during the observation of the projects developed in the workshop itself and the degree of valence (positive and negative) triggered by each project was recorded. In parallel, still in this intermediate stage, the projects were tested with an electroencephalography equipment by one of the study team members, observing how much each project causes brain modulations in the attention and relaxation of the observer, which shows another kind of measurements for positive and negative valences. These data were used to correct the initial perception and soon after, they were reinserted into the projects. This study and methodology indicate a new possible way to predict how people’s well-being experience will be before the construction of projects and raises interesting questions about the clarification and rationalization of more intuitive design processes.
