Foster a Healthy Community Through Active Design and Biophilic Design
Humans are inherently interested in connecting with the natural environment.With the increasing urban constructions,they not only induced severely environmental impact,but also separated us from the nature.Despite the adoption of conventional green building technology can mitigate some of the adverse environmental impact,seldom can it help to re-establish the human-nature connection.To regain the missing link,Biophilic Design has become one of the strategic developments for AECOM Sustainability in the recent two years.Through a proper way to articulate the relationships between nature,science,and built environment so that we may experience the human benefits of biophilia in our design applications.Through a proper architectural design and the utilization of building physics,Biophilic Design can successfully integrate various natural elements within our working environment or habitat and positively influence our living style.Numerous research efforts have supported the benefits of adopting biophilic design in various development,which include helping hospital patients to recover within a shorter timeframe,increasing the students learning motive and achievements,enhancing the working efficiency of employees and strengthen the communication within the community.Currently,the lack of physical activity is being listed as one of the worlds top ten major risk factors for death.The decline in the rate of physical activity is partly due to the limitation from our workplace and the sedentary living habit of modern society.To promote the concept of healthy living style through exercising amongst local community,the Community Active Design makes use of proper space planning and design to provoke the curiosity and interest of citizens to explore the nature of space around the neighbourhood,which can imperceptibility influence their living habits,enhancing their health and well-being and foster a healthy community.
