Integrating Nature into Academic Spaces: Biophilic Campus

Abstract

Biophilic design is an architectural approach that fosters connections between humans and nature. The primary objective of this approach is to bridge the gap between the built environment and nature, thereby enhancing the quality of spaces and increasing users' productivity. This study examines integrating biophilic design into campuses categorised according to Linde's university campus layout classifications (diffusive, central, molecular, gridiron, cross, and linear). In this context, the main campuses of Eskişehir Osmangazi University, Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University, Anadolu University, Istanbul Technical University, Dokuz Eylul University, and Istanbul University were selected as sample areas for analysis. The sample areas were evaluated and compared according to William Browning et al.'s fourteen biophilic design principles based on observation, which is a qualitative research design. The evaluation revealed deficiencies in the window glazing areas of campus buildings, the design of open and semi-open spaces, the use of water and plants in interior spaces, and the integration of water elements into the design. To address these deficiencies, the study recommends that universities prioritise applying biophilic design principles in their physical environment planning. Additionally, various recommendations for implementing these design principles were developed. Implementing these recommendations is expected to facilitate stronger connections between individuals and nature, promoting a more sustainable relationship within built environments.
