| Abstract |
Biophilia is the concept that humans feel most comfortable with nature and find neurological and psychological stability. In order to use
colors that help with neurological and psychological stability and healing in architectural plans, it is necessary to develop a biophilic design
color palette that can create a mechanism of the biophilia effect by quantifying these colors. The propose of study this study is to propose a
biophilic design color palette development process for healing environment planning. To achieve this purpose, firstly, the relationship between
biophilic design (Kellert et al., 2008; Kellert & Calabrese, 2015; Kellert, 2018) that contributes to the establishment of a human well-being
environment based on the vitality of nature and modern architecture is studied. Secondly, in order to extract the color actually shown in the
image, the problem of the existing computer color extraction method was identified. The results of this study are as follows; The process of
proposing a biophilic color development process is carried out in three stages. In the first stage, the method of calculating the color area
ratio was introduced, and in the second stage, the mosaic method was introduced. Based on this, colors are extracted with a color picker in
stage 3. Stage 4 goes through the process of converting to a NCS. In Chapter 4, based on the proposed process, the study applied to 100
landscape images that explored the colors of nature, derived 500 biophilic colors, and verified the applicability of the biophilic color palette
development process. The color palette development process for biophilic design is ultimately for planning a healing environment. Based on
the concept of biophilia that humans prefer nature, a development process was proposed to develop biophilic colors for biophilic design, and
this biophilic color-based architectural design can have a positive effect on neurological and psychological stability in space. |
