dc.description.abstract | The modern world is characterized by human expansion, resource consumption, and technological advances. Rampant development has created a rift in the human-nature connection, a relationship once coveted during the earliest days of mankind. This kinship must be reestablished to ensure a healthy lifestyle. Immersion in the natural world provides the ideal environment for childrearing. Natural surroundings supply various stimuli to serve as catalysts for educational theories and environmental psychology. These benefits promote better childhood development and reinforce the principles of biophilic design. One solution for rekindling the human-nature connection and promoting a healthier lifestyle is through the implementation of green walls in a residential setting. | |
