Implications of Biophilic Design (08-29-24)

Mousighichi and colleagues link biophilic design to place attachment.  The researchers report that “Since place attachment (PA) and quality of campus life (QCL) are important factors affecting students, the current study aims to identify the impact of physical, visual, and auditory connections with nature (biophilic design parameters) on PA (place identity and place dependence) and QCL (self-reported physical health, mental well-being, social health, and academic success). Data from the survey of . . . university students were analysed. . . .
