Abstract
Students spend most of their time in the university campus where they either study inside the internal spaces (lecture halls, studios,...) or in the external spaces around the campus buildings. Most universities provide well-designed external spaces inside their campus that allow students to spend their time there for any purpose they want, such as studying, waiting, or spending free time. After observing those outdoor spaces, it has been found that some of those spaces are crowded and others are abandoned at the same complex. This study aims to find out the impact of natural elements and the biophilic approach of landscaping the outdoor university campus spaces on the students lingering and sense of the experience of such spaces. Moreover, to highlight the relation between using the biophilic approach and the livability of students’ campus open spaces, a field study was conducted with several students of the Faculty of Engineering campus, Alexandria University in which the biophilic theory is applied as one of bringing nature into the space forms. It also aims to study whether this approach will affect the students’ well-being and lingering factor. Through observation, dialogues, and public questionnaires, the study ended up with several results describing the effects of implementing the theory of biophilia in the design of the campus’ urban spaces. The results illustrate changes of the students lingering factors, as well as how biophilic design was affecting students’ well-being and how the biophilic urbanism approach was influencing the vitality of the space.
