진화미학에 기반한 지오 필릭 디자인(Geo-philic Design) 개념에 관한 연구

Abstract

(Background and Purpose) Attempts are being made to closely integrate architecture and landscape design into the terrain. This design phenomenon has been described as emphasizing an orientation toward the value of ecological space, which seems to be because the research of related disciplines has yet to be defined as a design concept. This research speculates that this is due to the need for more attention to the impact of brain evolution on human behavior in the design domain. Therefore, this research attempts to define the concept of geo-philic design. It is based on the concept of biophilia proposed in evolutionary psychology and defines and proves the geophilia hypothesis as a derivative. The geophilia hypothesis believes that the human aesthetic has a tendency to find attractive terrain, and this tendency has a significant influence on human perception. Based on these influences, geo-philic design is deep thinking about the relationship between architectural and landscape spaces and terrain. It creates well-being spaces that help people interact with the terrain, strengthening their connection to the natural environment. (Methods) This research first identifies the key elements and issues of interest in the previous studies that collect the necessary research on the concept of geophilia and geo-philic design through bibliometric analysis and compares and analyzes the differences between them. Second, the expression of geo-philic design in architecture and landscape design is analyzed by summarizing the existing design cases. Third, the aesthetic structure of geo-philic design is interpreted from an evolutionary aesthetic perspective. Finally, using data from scientifically verified previous studies, the rationality of establishing the geo-philic design concept is verified, then future design directions are proposed. (Results) Based on the geo-philic design concept proposed in this research, design cases were analyzed, and it was concluded that geo-philic design forms a terrain that incorporates the habitation activities of primitive human beings and harmonizes the formed form with the surrounding terrain by curving it. This harmony is characterized by evolutionary aesthetics. In addition, the authors found that designs that satisfy the geo-philic design concept activate the brain's reward pathway and evoke positive emotions. (Conclusion) Geo-philic design has revealed the adaptive nature of primitive humans' interaction with the terrain they inhabited. This adaptability manifests itself in geo-philic design as security sensing and exploration preferences while at the same time influencing the aesthetics of modern humans. This claim is supported by empirical evidence from brain neural activity. On this basis, this research is meaningful in that it established the concept of geo-philic design, demonstrated its rationality, and laid the foundation for applying human evolutionary psychology in the following designs.
