Abstract
Taipei City became the World Design Capital 2016 with the slogan of “Adaptive City” and “Adaptive Design”. When seeking strategies to green environment, this study was adopted a new adaptive approach with semantic differential analysis and questionnaires to show how to design flourishing by conducting a preference cognitive test marked by “morphology” for ecological sustainability, especially in interior space. The analytic results showed that the morphological components of preference ranks from top were: repetition, proportion, gradation. And too complicated or too simple the change of morphological components did both affect viewers’ preference; also the presence of morphologies had an emotional effect on the viewers. It should be emphasized on morphological elements and form of aesthetic principles to achieve a balanced proportion of design for indoor vertical greening environment and spatial atmosphere, for the purpose of creating good flourishing visual experience.
