dc.description.abstract |
In generally architecture crafts in-built human tendency to associate with nature, inward the contemporary world directs to build environment to be vital approach towards humanitarian design including physical and mental wellbeing. The idea of humanitarian build environment generates biophilic design intervention to understand the human evolution in adaptive re-joining factors to natural and human created forces.
The confront of biophilic Design in urban environment is to state the lack of coherent and the user comfort of passionate built fabric in the urban tissue. Biophilic Design pursue to produce respectable territory to people through establishing the strategies and frameworks by better architectural practice.
The thesis sets out to speculate on how biophilic design strategies contribute to optimize user comfort in urban environment examines the selected building entrance spaces in educational environment. The study argues that, the use of biophilic strategies and impact of using the strategies in urban spaces to improve the quality of the academic entrance spaces, how these spaces are influenced by the culture of the community, and design strategies that can be evolved in the earliest with humility and understanding in urban spaces.
Based on the review of building documentation, interviews and building output analysis, the thesis evaluates and critiques on strategies of Adaptation of Biophilic design, in particular: (1) how effectively biophilic elements are adopted in urban places and (2) how these elements can be productively incorporate with cultural impact to comfort and healing, in the entrance space of academic environment. The research concludes that adaptation of biophilic elements in academic environment can provide comfort and healing, and this will be affected by cultural specific attributes. |
