Mural NAture

Pattern Scale: Building

Description of the Pattern:

Natural forms and shapes appear in many places in cities worldwide. In the Western Australian City of Fremantle, for instance, sidewalk designs incorporate seashells and other aquatic elements. One major pedestrian corridor in that city sports a series of sidewalk mosaics that vividly portray common species of native plants. Building façades and walls offer an additional palette for biophilic images and themes. Elsewhere, buildings in Raleigh, North Carolina, are endowed with beautiful butterflies painted on the sides of several structures, and of course murals in many cities support similar biophilic scenes. Biophilic Murals can foster the connection humans have to the natural world and inspire ecological wonder and expression even when there is no nature present.
