Biophilic Interior Design: a Case Study on the Relation Between Water Elements and Well-Being of the Users in an Educational Building
(Anadolu Univ, 2021) Nevzati, Fiona; Demirbas, O. Osman; Hasirci, Deniz
The concept of biophilia is an innate human tendency to seek connection with nature. Biophilic design is the integration of the built environment and nature, which offers an opportunity to design healthier places, resulting in lower stress and improved well-being. Water elements are considered one of the most effective biophilic design elements for the betterment of the interiors through decreased stress and improved mood. This paper examines the relationships between well-being and principles of biophilic design through indoor water elements, with specific focus on educational environments. A case study was conducted examining the effects of various indoor water elements for an entrance area of an educational building. It was found that occupants were generally content with the presence of interior water elements, and they perceived that direct access to nature made them feel more connected with it. There is a statistically significant difference between the responses of males and females, t = -2.041, p = 0.045 (p<0.05), while females perceived lowered stress when in the presence of interior water elements, males were more neutral. The research study concludes with a discussion on the means by which interior water elements can reduce stress and increase relaxation.
Effects of Retail Lighting on Product Color Perception and User Satisfaction
(Anadolu Univ, 2022) Dilgen, Ozge; Hasirci, Deniz
Light source color properties in retail applications are among the most important factors affecting the user satisfaction in shopping places. A lighting design with a low color rendering value and an unsuitable color temperature can create a difference in the color perception of the product which may affect customers purchase decision or cause dissatisfaction resulting in the return of the product. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effects of lighting on product color perception and customer's feedback on the color difference. In order to fulfill this aim, the color differences of the chosen products are examined in three different key areas of a chain clothing store in Izmir, Turkey and compared with the color under daylight. Moreover, the user feedback is taken via a questionnaire to discuss the relationship between color display and user satisfaction/dissatisfaction. The collected data shows that although people do not realize the color differences inside the store, if they experience it after their purchase it may result in the return of the product. As a result of the study, it is suggested that retail store designers and lighting engineers should collaborate to ensure that the consumer perceives what the product designer intended as accurately as possible.
