Assessment of the aptitude of architecture students’ design evolution with and without plants

Dr. R. V. Nagarajan

Abstract :

 ?is paper tries to estimate the ability of the architecture students in terms of creativity and design–evolving potentiality with respect to the presence of the plants. Trees and other green elements have already been proven in cases like curing the patients, recovering after surgery, stress relieving properties, etc. ?e aim of this research is to measure the probability of the plants to create the innovative ideas of architecture students when they work in studios for generating concepts for their designs. ?is research was carried out in two methods: First method was carried out in a design studio of 40 number of students with the presence of plants and trees, while the second method was carried out in another studio with the same number of another set of students without the presence of plants and trees. ?e care was taken in both cases that all 80 students are equally cognizant in terms of creation. ?e final assessment was carried out in three stages: 1. Duration of the creation. 2. Proficiency of the creation. 3. Percentage of best creation. After the miniscule scrutiny of the measurements undertaken, the results showed that presence of the plants significantly increased the overall ability of innovation of architecture students
