A review of findings from the field of environmental psychology shows that humans are aesthetically attracted to natural contents and to particular landscape configurations. These features are also found to have positive effects on human functioning and can reduce stress. However, opportunities for contact with these elements are reduced in modern urban life. It is argued how this evolution can have subtle but nontrivial adverse effects on psychological and physiological well-being. These can…

Biophilic qualities of historical architecture: In quest of the timeless terminologies of ‘life’ in architectural expression

“Evolutionary Store Atmospherics” – Designing with Evolution in Mind

TLDR
This chapter provides an overview of the specific “ancestral” landscape elements and qualities that are found to have positive effects on human functioning and discusses and illustrate how these key qualities can be integrated in store environments.

Biophilic design triggers fascination and enhances psychological restoration in the urban environment.

This brief communication wants to draw greater attention to the role of physical environment in the psychological restoration process. Given the benefits deriving from contact with Nature, urban…

The neuroaesthetics of architectural spaces.

TLDR
The visual brain harbours hidden sensitivities to architectural interiors that are captured by the dimensions of coherence, fascination, and hominess, which represent first steps towards an experimental neuroarchitecture.

Ecopsychology: Science, Totems, and the Technological Species

We need nature for our physical and psychological well-being. Our actions reflect this when we turn to beloved pets for companionship, vacation in spots of natural splendor, or spend hours working in…

The Implications of Fractal Fluency for Biophilic Architecture

TLDR
It is described how people can navigate easily through environments featuring mid-range fractals, which can be exploited by incorporating these natural patterns into buildings, representing a highly practical example of biophilic design.

Buildings, Beauty, and the Brain: A Neuroscience of Architectural Experience

A burgeoning interest in the intersection of neuroscience and architecture promises to offer biologically inspired insights into the design of spaces. The goal of such interdisciplinary approaches to…

Psychological and neural responses to architectural interiors

Aesthetic preference is related to organized complexity

TLDR
The idea of the existence of a preference of the authors' perceptive system for certain types of visual organization is supported using a questionnaire-based survey to elucidate some of the parameters that play a role in formulating a preference.

Humans have evolved in natural environments, a process which has resulted in the development of a neural system specialized in the processing of information about the natural world (for example,…

Fractals and the birth of Gothic: reflections on the biologic basis of creativity.

TLDR
The hypothesis that the Gothic cathedral, with its porous, scale-free structures, may represent an externalization of the fractal properties of physiology in general, and of the authors' neural architectures and neuro-dynamics, in particular is explored.

TLDR
Kinship to Mastery is a fascinating and accessible exploration of the notion of biophilia - the idea that humans possess a biologically based attraction to nature and exhibit an innate affinity for life and lifelike processes.
