The relationship of individuals with their environment is a highly complex process. It involves, among others, cognitive processes, personality, expectation, current emotional state and, of course, environmental events that may vary indefinitely.

​

While environmental perception is affected by sensorial pathologies, naturalistic environments can also contribute to the restoration of humans/patients quality of life.

​

In this research, we tried to assess which specificity of naturalistic environments can improve humans/patients cognition and contribute later to a better recovery.

​

For this transdisciplinary research, we collaborate with the Faculty of Architecture, Architectural Engineering and Urban Planning from UCLouvain (Prof. Maider Llaguno-Munitxa).

 

We explore the role played by urban green infrastructure design characteristics in citizen stress level reduction.
