Outside In: Bringing the Outdoors Indoors

In my final capstone project for completing my master’s degree in interaction design, I spent eight months discovering how to evoke a sense of the natural world in indoor environments. My work resulted in a series of design principles that refine our understanding of the outside and inside worlds, and identified five lenses to help structure how the natural world is meaningful to us.
