The plan that supports the healthy lives of the aged continuously is required as their population increases constantly. The 'healing
environment' for the aged has been emphasized in the geriatric hospitals and convalescent hospitals mainly so far, but most of them are
experiencing the unstable status such as fatigue and pain at the level that they can barely manage to carry out daily life. So, the plan of
applying design pattern of biophilic in lobby of senior welfare center was willing to be sought in this paper to support the psychological
stability and constant health within the range of daily life and activities for the aged. In this research, design pattern elements of biophilic
and applying characteristics for each indoor space in lobby of senior welfare center were analyzed through the advanced research, theory
consideration and case studies in Korea and foreign countries, and total 22 design pattern elements of biophilic and 52 design elements were
drawn. It is expected that it can be used as the guideline and design guide for applying design pattern of biophilic hereafter. |
