| dc.description.abstract | This study is driven by the urgency to improve work environments for the neurodiverse community, informed by a personal understanding of the challenges faced by these individuals. Although the term neurodiverse individuals appears in the title, this thesis will focus on the more accurate term neurodivergent individuals, when referring to people whose neurological processing differs from the typical individual. It will be an exploration of creating neuro inclusive interiors that integrate biophilic design and house a special focus on plants, to see what benefits in terms of overstimulation, safety and comfort it has on the user. The study will adapt a multidisciplinary approach to expand sensory stimulation or tranquility, meaning it will include case studies and thorough literature research. To contribute to a restorative and inclusive environment, the study focusses on significant sensory aspects such as natural light, spatial forms, freedom of movement and greenery. The connection between neuroinclusive design and biophilic design emphasises to show both qualities of design and make it clear that spaces need to be more adaptable to various neurodivergent individual needs and in conclusion respond better in terms of design characteristics and in certain demands. This study aims to contribute to the research on how spaces can be inclusive for all and create an | |
