Tiziana Piu

(Tutor: Prof.ssa Roberta Fadda, Prof.ssa Maria Luisa Pedditzi)

Tiziana Piu is a PhD student in Philosophy, Epistemology, Human Sciences at the University of Cagliari. She’s a developmental and educational psychologist, with a particular expertise in children care in early infancy. Her research project aims to integrate biophilic design within nurseries and preschool environments and to measure its impact on children well-being. Biophilia is the innate need to affiliate with nature. Natural elements in urban environments might promote attentive, cognitive and socio-emotional growth, and overall well-being.
The project will actively involve the community by disseminating the results and the educational materials that will be created for the purposes of this study.
