Description
To maximize the contact with Nature in the health and wellbeing promotion of populations, design strategies are urgently needed. Despite the increasing interest in this global concern, there exists limited knowledge and research into “how to integrate Nature with our dwellings’ interior space”. There is a lack of architectural small-scale solutions for achieving this and also limited research into the ways these solutions can enable their integration. To bridge these gaps, I have conducted a case-study analysis to present the first synthetic overview, revealing what devices are used in these case-studies to link their interior space with the surrounding nature. With the involvement of a network of international experts, a methodology that links architectural research and practice, and a link to my own practice I have provided a catalogue of potential sustainable practical devices and recommendations for integrating architectural devices of the buildings studied and I have influenced researchers, design practitioners, policy-makers and society in building practice. The main aim was to effectively enhance the health and wellbeing of communities through daily interaction with Nature in urban areas of the future, an urgent challenge at EU and Global level.
Nature-In is very original and innovative in terms of objectives, how it is conceived and how it has been conducted. It opens a new research branch of Architectural Design and a new phase in the Biophilic design’s implementation for built environments. Moreover, it makes an important contribution to the EU-knowledge base on nature-based solutions, a significant step for the EU.
It is an individual research project granted by the EC within the programme H2020 Excellent Science- Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions grant agreement 896651
