Abstract: The biophilia hypothesis posits an innate biological and genetic connection between human and nature, including an emotional dimension to this connection. Biophilic design builds on this hypothesis in an attempt to design human-nature connections into the built environment. This article builds on this theoretical framework through a meta-analysis of experimental studies on the emotional impacts of human exposure to natural and urban environments. A total of 49 studies were identified, with a combined s le size of 3,201 participants. The primary findings indicated that exposure to natural environments had a medium to large effect on both increasing positive affect and decreasing negative affect. This finding supported the anticipated emotional dimension of the biophilia hypothesis and lends credibility to biophilic design theory. Evidence was revealed in support of the affective/arousal response model. Immersion in environments indicated a larger effect size than laboratory simulation of environments. Methodological recommendations for future experimental research were few, however the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) outcome measure was recommended as a measure of both positive and negative affect for further studies. A combination measurement of stress related outcome variables was proposed to further explore the affective/arousal response model and its potential relationship to the biophilia hypothesis. The meta-analysis provides evidence for fundamental theories regarding human-nature connection, while revealing gaps in current knowledge.

Abstract: An astonishing intense fascination is under way in the design sciences, where the words of ‘living structures’ and ‘adaptive’ are being linked with ‘technology. In part fuelled by the emergence of the Anthropocene discourse, these words are inspiring authoritative new insights into the workings of wild nature, humanity’s position and responsibility to planet Earth, and is being articulated through the rapidly increasing science of pattern theory. The new terminology is provoking the design sciences to seriously consider technologically-informed innovation in design and new possibilities including living technology, morphogenetic sequences, self-organisation, generative codes, biophilia, biomimetics and regenerative-adaptive design, opening the doors to a new era in ecology-informed design. The idea of design as an adaptive and transformation process, is at the core of the whole systems theory pioneered by Alexander in em A Pattern Language /em (1977) and em The Nature of Order /em (2001-2005). Alexander positioned this hypothesis in generative codes supported by morphogenetic sequences. Drawing upon Alexander’s em The Nature of Order /em (2001-2005), this paper advances a regenerative-adaptive design theory (Roӧs, 2016), towards a holistic integrated design method that incorporates the principles of regenerative design with an adaptive pattern language that re-establishes human wholeness with nature and offers relevant strategies towards resilience in essence creating a living technology.

Abstract: The Conference of Parties (COP) 26 highlighted the need for global-level deep decarbonization and provided financial instruments to aid climate mitigation in the global south, as well as compensation avenues for loss and damage. This narrative reiterated the urgency of addressing climate change, as well as aiding advances in green products and green solutions whilst shifting a portion of responsibility upon the global south. While this is much needed, we argue that the science rhetoric driving this initiative continues to be advantageous to the global north due to their capacity to control consumption gaps and to access human knowledge and resource extraction. If not addressed, this will reinforce a continuing unjust north/south narrative, highlighting neo-climate colonialism precepts.

Abstract: The ersion and recovery of organic waste are one of the most significant opportunities and challenges for reducing the environmental impacts of waste disposal internationally, as recognised by the United Nations’ SDG 12 that seeks to “ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns”. This issue is particularly pertinent to developed countries, like Australia, who have a high propensity for waste removal arising from their industrial and domestic use of products, materials and organic consumables. Through the use of GIS technology, using modelling software developed by the Global Methane Initiative, a series of simulations were undertaken to determine the viability of an anaerobic digester for the City of Greater Geelong (COGG), located in the State of Victoria (Australia), where organic materials constitute over 25% of all waste land-filled. Using only municipal organic waste, the modelling concluded that the COGG would generate between AU$6M-AU$11M/annum from the sale of biogas/methane. In addition to this revenue stream, COGG would have an Annual Projected Net Emissions Reductions of 3797 Mt. This paper further considers the development of a geospatial database to identify and locate concentrated organic waste resources in COGG, the design and development of a software tool to help quantify the production of food waste, and the development of an economic model to value the organic waste stream of COGG arising from the implementation of this proposal.

Abstract: In 1984 E.O. Wilson (1984) introduced and popularized the em Biophilia /em hypothesis defining em biophilia /em as "the urge to affiliate with other forms of life" (Kellert & Wilson 1995: 416). sup /sup Wilson’s em biophilia /em hypothesis suggests that there is an instinctivebond between human beings and other living systems. More recently, in the USA, Browning em et al /em (2014) have proposed ‘14 Patterns of Biophilic Design’ within a framework for linking the human biological sciences and nature to built environment design offering a series of tools for enriching design opportunities, and avenues for design applications as a way to effectively enhance the health and well-being of in iduals and society. While em biophilia /em is the theory, em biophilic design /em as advocated by Kellert em et al /em (2008) and Beatley (2010) internationally offers a sustainable design strategy that seeks to reconnect people with the ‘natural environment’. Overall, from what little research has been undertaken internationally in the last 10 years, there is a solid understanding as to the applied application of this theory, its principles and processes to built environment design and no research about to how to retrofit the existing urban fabric using this approach. This paper reviews the application of em biophilic design /em in Australia, including the scope of design, health and wellbeing literature, the ‘14 Patterns of Biophilic Design’ and performative measures now unfolding, brings forward a new em Biophilic Design /em Pattern, and considers the value the approach offers to built environment practice as well as to human and non-human occupants.
