Developing a model for biophilic public schools through natural light

Schools everywhere are not suited to nourish student or adult minds, as well as their health and well-being. This study will go into Biophilic Patterns – specializing in the effects of daylight – within design and explain the importance of these patterns in relation to human evolution, and ways these patterns can be implemented into public school classrooms. This study will first go into the background of students and their current situation of wellbeing in the world today. After this, the study will go into the research previously conducted in five case studies. These case studies will be analyzed on several factors that will relate to the lighting and how students and teachers feel in these particular instances. Then this project will analyze how these patterns can be used to better the everyday lives of students; from this information there will be models as to how to incorporate these items into schools.
