Connection with Natural Systems

-

We always admire when we see a bird chirping outside our window, as it develops a relaxing and reassuring feeling within us. Its soothing sound lifts our mood in a positive way. We always think what we can do to bring nature’s pattern into our lives? Can we really adapt the nature’s pattern and bring changes to our lives? So sometimes when we see birds visiting our window or rooftop, we love to install a birdhouse for them with some food and water which attracts them towards it and looking at them we feel so connected to NATURE. As we have seen in our previous blog how a space with naturally connecting environment brings in well being and stimulates our senses.


We have often seen that seasonal patterns and temporal changes have a great effect on human eye. With changing color and vibrancy our eyes adapt different lights from season to season. Our color perception is affected with different seasons. So in built environment if we incorporate a rooftop garden in offices or a garden in balcony of our homes that is open to sky we can experience the seasonal changes intensity of light, color variations, plant cycles and ambient scents.



By using natural materials like stone, copper, bronze and wood we get connected to nature by experiencing different texture, color, composition, feel and sound. With the use of natural materials we can have healthier life and it has positive impact on our mood too. Natural material lasts longer and maintenance is effortless and it even gets better with age and the beauty of it is PRICELESS. When we use natural materials in the exterior with the seasonal changes, we can also experience difference in the materials that makes it more distinct and fascinating. 





Try to connect more with natural systems and bring more changes to your lifestyle as it will make your life healthier and lively, as artificial don’t stay up long.

NATURE OF THE SPACE

As the heading suggests - Nature of the Space, it refers to the nature of spatial configurations. We always have a desire to see and learn something new which enriches us. We always try to see beyond our perceptible limits. We are always fascinated by the unpredictable quality of nature, its patternless expression. Nature of the space includes our innate and learned desire to be able to see beyond our immediate surroundings. It also includes our fascination with the slightly unknown obscured views with its sense of danger. The strongest Nature of the Space experiences are achieved through the creation of deliberate and engaging spatial configurations commingled with patterns of Nature in the Space and Natural Analogues. This particular category includes 4 patterns of biophilic design and they are as follows: Prospect : This pattern usually overlaps the very first pattern that is visual connection with nature. Prospect is an uninterrupted view over a distance for survei

NON-RHYTHMIC SENSORY STIMULI

Have you ever been mentally and visually engaged by a cloth hanging in your balcony to dry up moving slowly and irregularly with the wind and your mind is not able to guess its next direction of flow? That’s exactly what this means, I’m sure it is experienced by each and everyone. Before we understand the topic in detail we need to understand the title so let’s break down the title, Non rhythmic means irregular, not uniform, something which is free, sensory means relating to your physical senses, an ability to sense things around yourself, and stimuli means a response to some activity, causes development or interest, so Non Rhythmic Sensory Stimuli means a human response to an irregular activity occurring naturally in the environment. In one of our previous blog titled as Visual connection with nature, we have mentioned how staying connected with nature helps in human well being in spaces like residences, workspaces, health care and so on. This pattern usually overlaps the previous pat

NON-VISUAL CONNECTION WITH NATURE

In the previous blog, we saw how visual connection with nature benefits our overall health and affects our mind in a positive way. It took care of one sense of the human body and that is vision, but what about the other 4 senses? If by engaging only one sense can be so impactful on our mind and body, imagine how much the other senses including the first one will make an impact on us. The other four senses include the sense of smell, the ability to hear, the sense of taste, the feeling of touch. These senses can be experienced separately, although the experience is multiplied and the health effect is intensified if multiple senses are experienced at the same time or engaged together as one experience. Now imagine yourself walking barefoot on a beach with your eyes closed and feeling the cool and pleasant breeze on your skin, the sound of waves crashing to the shore hitting your ears and you are moving towards the water feeling the texture of slightly warm sand, and as you keep
