Biophilia
The innate tendency to focus on life and lifelike
processes E.O. Wilson 1984
Do you use nature images as
screensavers or wallpapers?
Attention Restoration Theory (ART)
R&S Kaplan, The Experience of Nature, 1989
Nearby Nature Restorative Settings
• Being away - setting is physically
or conceptually different from
one’s usual environment
• Extent - a setting sufficiently rich
and coherent that it engages the
mind and promotes exploration
• Fascination (soft & hard) -
content or mental processes that
engage attention effortlessly &
allow you to rest your mind.
• Compatibility - good fit between
your inclinations and the kinds of
activities supported by the
setting.
