It is an investigation of what is possible at a small scale within the existing dense urban fabric. The intentions are that while we may begin with small experimentations, these ideas and applications of the varied approaches to biophilic design may be scaled up and out and applied throughout our built environment. The small scale of the designs proposed through this thesis allow a framework for experimentation and the design proposal is purposefully retained to a conceptual idea of nature as it relates to sensory experiences.application/pdfen-USnonebiophiliabiophilic designbiophilic urban acupuncturebus stopsnatureurban acupunctureArchitectureUrban planningDesignArchitectureArchitecture of Life: Biophilic Urban Acupuncture for Downtown SeattleThesis
