The cognitive science research is clear – using natural elements (for example, materials, sounds, light, plants, fresh air, and water) in interior spaces has positive consequences for how people think and behave. What scientists have learned about nature-based experiences can inform design that enhances wellbeing and cognitive performance and encourages worthwhile life experiences.
Many notable studies with useful findings were published during 2019. The most significant 87 of them, pertinent to projects focused on issues ranging from acoustics to zoo design, are highlighted in this article.
Several studies with interesting design implications were presented at the 2019 meeting of the Environmental Design Research Association (EDRA). The details needed to apply their findings are provided here.
