1.1. Biophilic design elements & attributes
1. Introduction- Examine biophilicdesign that can be usedin communal spaces ofoffice building- Observe how biophilicdesign are implementedin context of local climate
- Perception study ofoccupants on its effecttowards them- Possible identification ofpreferred biophilic designin tropical climate contextof Malaysia
Aim of studyToday, there are various studies and researchesdone with proven empirical evidence to examinethe benefits and impacts of biophilic design to ourhealth and well-being. With growing interest inbiophilic design, an increase in its usage can beseen implemented abundantly in spaces andbuildings nowadays.

Auditory, haptic, olfactory, or gustatory stimulation
view of nature elements whether living or non-living.
Dynamical and intangible existence relations to nature
that can be evaluated objectively
temperature, relative humidity and wind
watching, listening, or feeling waterchanging light and
shadow intensities
Natural process, temporal
shifts, characteristic of a natural ecosystem
Symbolic comparisons in
nature for contour and arrangements
that relates to nature.
Natural materials and elements that
represent local context creating sense of place in
the space.
Rich sensory detailing close to
those found in nature.
An unobstructed vision and huge
scale difference in a space
A place where there is a sense of closeness and protection from
behind and overhead.
Instance where there is an
enticement for more details to be uncovered from
going further to a particular space.
A danger that can be established,
along with reliable security.
Through literal introduction to nature Through symbolism or abstract approach
Through introduction to environment and experience beyond our ordinary state of
living

Firstly, observation and analysis of the communal spaces in the selected building will be conducted. However, in a biophilic design study, it is known to pose a challenge in term of measuring its efficiency and impact on human well-being.
Therefore, a questionnaire-based survey was done to the occupants. Through this evaluation of the perception of the occupants in the space with biophilic design, it serves an easier way for an understanding of its benefit and impact on human well-being. Figure 1 below shows the overall methodology flowchart of the study.
FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

3.1.1 Biophilic design analysisThe main design feature where biophilic designs can be seen are mainly from two of its communal spaces, theoutdoor park landscape and the sky terraces which positioned in between the tower blocks.

3.1.1 Perception of OccupantsTowards Biophilic Design in TheCommunal SpaceA questionnaire-based survey was conducted toobtain data on how biophilic design in thecommunal spaces makes them feel andimportance of the various biophilic attributesfound in the communal spaces of the case studyin their perception.

CONCLUSIONS

Supported By:Organized By:
- Preferred biophilic design attributes need to be more focusedin the design process with visual connection with nature asthe topmost priority
- In term of addressing the climatic context and potentiality, thenext preferred attribute are prospect and access to thermaland airflow variability which can be optimized through:
- Adaptation of the building orientation based on winddirection, sun orientation
- Openings- Volume of the Space
- Other biophilic design attributes should also be considered asit was also discovered to be beneficial towards the occupantof the building Figure 4. Showing sky
