L'uomo e la natura sono inestricabilmente legati. Le città di oggi sono circondate da edifici di cemento e le persone faticano a respirare tra di essi. Le persone desiderano il verde, desiderano aprire le finestre ed essere accolte dal profumo delle piante. Nel processo di progettazione urbana moderna, gli studiosi continuano a sottolineare l'importanza della natura per le persone. Nella teoria della città giardino, Ebenezer Howard ha proposto di circondare le comunità umane con campi e giardini; Yukongjian ha proposto di tornare al campo nella progettazione del paesaggio.La biofilia è stata scritta e divulgata dal biologo Edward O.

Studiando la letteratura sul design biofilico, l'autore riassume l'approccio del design biofilico e lo combina con il placemaking urbano per fornire un riferimento per la parte di design dei progetti successivi. Il progetto di design si trova a Chongqing, in Cina. Chongqing è una città organica con montagne e acqua, chiamata "Città delle montagne" e "Città della nebbia", entrambi titoli legati alla natura. L'altitudine unica della città offre eccellenti condizioni naturali e biodiversità, ma la rapida industrializzazione ha lasciato molte parti della città segnate dall'eccessivo sviluppo, e alcuni angoli della città sono stati bonificati e dimenticati.In questo lavoro, il Niujiaotuo Waterfront Park, situato lungo il fiume Yangtze, è stato scelto per questo studio. Il parco è costruito con rifiuti industriali e nascosto sotto un ponte sopraelevato, con molta vegetazione e una mancanza di interventi progettuali. L'autore ha ripristinato la vitalità di questo spazio perduto introducendo un verde toccabile attraverso il design biofilico, in modo che le persone che arrivano al parco possano godere dell'atmosfera naturale, annusare i fiori e ascoltare gli uccelli.

Abstract
Humans and nature are inextricably linked. Today's cities are surrounded by concrete buildings, and people are struggling to breathe between them. People long for greenery, they long to open their windows and be greeted by the smell of plants. In the process of modern urban design, scholars continue to emphasize the importance of nature to people. In the theory of garden city, Ebenezer Howard proposed to surround human communities with fields and gardens; Yukongjian proposed to return to the field in landscape design. Biophilia was written and popularized by biologist Edward O. Wilson in 1984. Making nature touchable is a focus of the article's discussion. By studying the literature on biophilic design, the author summarizes the approach of biophilic design and combines it with urban placemaking to provide a reference for the design part of subsequent projects. The design project is located in Chongqing, China. Chongqing is an organic city with mountains and water, it is called the "City of Mountains" and the "Fog City", both with nature-related titles. The city's unique elevation provides excellent natural conditions and biodiversity, but the rapid industrialization has left many parts of the city scarred by overdevelopment, and some corners of the city have been reclaimed and forgotten.In this paper, Niujiaotuo Waterfront Park, located along the Yangtze River, is selected for this study. The park is built up from industrial waste and hidden under an elevated bridge, with a lot of vegetation and a lack of design intervention. The author has restored the vitality of this lost space by introducing touchable greenery through biophilic design so that people coming to the park can enjoy the natural atmosphere, smell the flowers and hear the birds.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
