Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to attempt to apply biophilic design concepts to the renewal design research of outdoor spaces in old residential areas, summarizing strategies suitable for the renovation of outdoor spaces in these areas. Research design, data and methodology: Based on the existing theoretical framework of biophilic design and the actual conditions of outdoor spaces in residential areas, a biophilic quality evaluation scale and a biophilic design "toolkit" for residential outdoor spaces were summarized. The current situation of residential outdoor spaces was investigated and analyzed using the scale, and biophilic renovation strategies were proposed for old residential areas. Results: Specific biophilic quality evaluation scales and biophilic design "toolkits" for residential outdoor spaces were generated, and biophilic renovation strategies were proposed for old residential areas. Conclusions: According to existing theories and research analysis, diversified biophilic design can enhance the overall biophilic quality of residential areas. To achieve this, the biophilic quality evaluation scale can be used to analyze the biophilic quality of outdoor spaces in old residential areas, and appropriate biophilic renovation strategies can be proposed through the biophilic design "toolkit". This study will provide valuable references for the renovation of outdoor spaces in old residential areas.
