| Abstract |
This research aims to compare and analyze types and frequency of Biophilic design vocabularies extracted from practical Biophilic design projects’ explanatory texts in order to building a theoretical background regarding user’s cognition on Biophilic Effect (Arvay, 2018; Choi & Lee, 2020) affected by Biophilic design vocabularies centered around the Biophilic design concept. The detailed objectives are following as: first, to theoretically review a written language in a general language and Biophilic design theory, and to look around natural experiences and Biophilic effect from Biophilic Design based on Biophilia theory. Second, to establish a definition and role of Biophilic design concept and Biophilic design word through a definition and role of an interior design concept and interior design word. Third, to extract Biophilic design vocabularies from project explanatory texts in “Natural Inside” written by William D. Browning and Catherine O. Ryan (2020), to divide them to direct experience of nature, indirect experience of nature and experience of space and place categorized in “The Practice of Biophilic Design” written by Stephen R. Kellert and Elizabeth F. Calabrese (2015), and to compare and analyze Biophilic design words’ types and frequency. Through being compared to Biophilic design vocabulary’s types and frequency, the research has driven results that first, Natural Landscape and Ecosystem from attributes of the direct experience of nature, Information Richness from attributes of the indirect experience of nature, and Prospect and Refuge from attributes of the experience of space and place, ranked as the first position. Second, Natural Landscape and Ecosystem at home, hotel, hospital and factory, and Plant at store, office and hospital are shown the highest frequency among the attributes of the direct experience of nature. Natural Material at store and hotel, and Information Richness at school, office, hotel and community are the highest frequency among the attributes of the indirect experience of nature. and Prospect and Refuge at home, office, hotel and hospital are ranked the first position among the attributes of the experience of space and place. These results can be analyzed that these words attract to users so that they play an important role to represent their own specialized spaces’ characteristics, Biophilic design concept, also known as interior design concept, which is a designer intent. |
