At MOSS, we continuously strive to improve our knowledge and contribute to the knowledge within the field. This has led us to set up MOSS Lab which aims to explore, reveal, and unleash the impact of biophilic spaces.
– ABOUT –
MOSS Lab looks into the world of plants: mainly their benefits and how to incorporate them into our urban environments. We are especially interested in the topics that have an immediate effect on the users and contribute to the quality of the urban environment(s), as well as the topics that have limited studies. We know that we are not alone in this and we believe that collaboration and multidisciplinary partnership can bring fruitful and innovative results which can revolutionize the way we design with plants.
“The only way to success in business is to attract smart creatives and put them in an environment where they can succeed at scale”
Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google
– AIM & METHOD –
Since our aim is to bridge the gap between research and design, our research methods not only consist of literature reviews but also experimental research. The combined methods allow us to understand the topic theoretically as well as practically; yielding qualitative data that can be applied to our projects.
– LASTEST –
MOSS and the University of Wageningen ACT (Academic Consultancy Training) have worked together to dive into the untapped areas of the benefits of plants. In MOSS Lab 1.0 (link) and MOSS Lab 1.1 (link), we studied the impact of different scales of greenery to understand both perceived and physical variables of stress, productivity, and workplace satisfaction. In MOSS Lab 2.0, we investigated the effects of plant properties and plant arrangements on acoustics in a hybrid office spa
