Abstract

This study is grounded on the perspective of biophilic design that promotes a healing environment by integrating humans and nature and believes that biophilic design implemented in the healing space is related to the growth environment of plants and can present complementary points. Therefore, the relationship between maintaining the growth environment of plants in space and biophilic design was identified, and the problems of case space and future directions were discussed. Severance Hospital's , the largest healing garden built in domestic medical facilities, was limited to an analysis case and went through an on-site investigation process. The suitability of the growth environment was evaluated based on the overview of the plants planted in the case space, followed by the evaluation of the Biophilic design application of the case space, a detailed analysis was prepared, and the conclusion was presented. First, in order to compensate for the problems of the growth environment, it is necessary to ensure openness in the area, to be adjacent to the openings and exhaust ports, and to maintain a certain distance from the wall. Second, the frequency of use of natural materials should be increased in order to promote interaction between plants planted nearby and to mimic the external environment, and water space should be included, especially in locations adjacent to plants. Third, it is necessary to diversify the types of planting and arrangement according to the crown layer. When low-rise planting is actively used, it is possible to maintain temperature and humidity and improve the degree of application of Biophilic design.
