Abstract
The fast rhythm of today's economic environment imposes the full potential of the workforce and no longer affords to waste any. There are many factors in the workplace environment that influence the performance of the occupants. Workplace design plays a major part as one of these factors. Meanwhile, recent studies have shown a positive correlation between nature, the built environment and human performance. On average, people spend ninety percent of their time in artificial built environments and man-made environments that weaken the opportunity for humans to connect with their natural environment. The outcome of this study is intended to provide insight into the perception of natural elements design in the context of urban office buildings' environment and a greater understanding of how integrating these elements into workplace environments could renew a historically innate human connectedness to the natural environment that support occupants' productivity, and therefore their overall health and well-being.
