Abstract: (28 Views)
Humans have always been an integral part of nature, and their actions directly impact the environment, while conversely, the environment also influences human life. One of the environments that influence humans is nature. However, research in environmental psychology has paid less attention to the impact of biophilic architecture as a contemporary nature-oriented architectural model on humans and their performance and behavior. The present study aims to first identify and categorize the dimensions, components, and indicators of environmental psychology and biophilic architecture and seek to integrate these two concepts into a model to improve environmental psychology indicators through biophilic architecture. To present the most comprehensive classification of dimensions, components, and indicators of environmental psychology and biophilic architecture, this study adopted a systematic mapping protocol to collect the data from related sources. Furthermore, a content analysis approach was used to analyze the collected data. The indicators of environmental psychology were categorized into six components; scope and privacy, environmental perceptions, cultural-social world, individual empowerment, individual emotions, and physical and mental health. The findings indicated various indicators of biophilic architecture affect the indicators of environmental psychology. A wide range of biophilic architecture indicators including nature in space, natural analogs, and the relationship between man and nature affect the six components of environmental psychology and determine how each biophilic architecture indicator can improve environmental psychology. The insights from this study can help architects and designers develop effective design patterns in biophilic architecture.
