Abstract

This study aims to experimentally measure how the inclusion of natural elements in urban indoor spaces affects users' experiences. To achieve this, the objective was to identify visual and auditory stimuli elements by analyzing prior research. Research trends in biophilia revealed that most studies primarily consisted of case studies or design-focused investigations. However, there was a lack of in-depth analysis involving actual users. Auditory stimulation from nature reflected that one study experimentally categorized six different nature sounds. The most commonly utilized sounds were water-related noises or non-animal and bird sounds such as animal or biophonic. As a result, applying these two types of sounds in experiments can effectively replicate natural auditory stimuli experienced by humans. The materialization of visual stimulation from nature was primarily based on Coulthard's book from 1988. Research cases related to visual stimulation from nature were also examined. The main components included natural photographs and natural patterns that were then narrowed down to facilitate specific experimentation. Notably, unlike previous studies, natural patterns were included, which are widely used in interior design, as visual stimuli. This allowed for a comparative analysis between actual photographs and natural patterns. Overall, this study aimed to translate various natural factors based on the biophilia theory into tangible experiences to expand the scope of design by incorporating both visual and auditory stimuli, which are frequently employed in design practices. Ultimately, the goal was to lay the foundation for experimental research on the biophilic effect by organizing and specifying the scattered natural stimuli.
