Nature Connection: Integrating Nature into Sensory Design

Modern humans spend about 95% of their lives indoors, constituting a significant portion of their time. This shift towards indoor living has underscored the importance of creating indoor spaces that prioritize health and well-being. Given this need, my thesis aims to explore connections between sensory design and nature, investigating how the integration of nature into sensory design can generate diverse and immersive sensory experiences indoors. This exploration seeks to understand how the fusion of natural elements and sensory design can enhance their collective impact, resulting in more captivating designs, novel experiences, and greater well-being.
