Abstract
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.
