Moving from Project 5 to the present Project 6 there has been multiple iterations and developments in my research question, the process of which you can see explained below.
End of Project 5:
How can nature be intrinsically incorporated into hospitality spaces to evoke social interactions and improve wellbeing?
Following Iterations:
How can nature be applied in hospitality spaces to attract customers, encourage social interactions and improve wellbeing?
- Evolved to this when looking to move away from just focusing on wellbeing, looking to encourage social interactions and also looking at engaging businesses in the project by aiming to attract customers.
How can biophilic design be utilised to form a connection between people and nature in commercial entertaining spaces?
- The realisation of creating a connection was established at this point and so then evolving the question became around the wording of ‘hospitality spaces’.
- Too specific in naming biophilic design, limits off any other possible applications of nature
- Not specific enough in the space definition
How can commercial entertaining spaces that serve food and drink be utilised to create connections between people and nature?
- Better in specificity of the targeted space
- Focus has shifted away from nature here and to the arena of the space, need to get back to connecting with nature being the priority
- Look at it being a re-connection, as we have drifted away from nature through evolution, it isn’t a new connection
How can nature be incorporated into commercial entertaining spaces that serve food and drink, to re-connect people with the natural world?
- Seemingly better iteration
- After stakeholder engagement questioning the arena I was offering to, it required revising
Consequently, my current working question is:
