The Problem and Its Setting
FLIP: A Proposed Studio and Training Center for Animation 1

Chapter 1: The Problem and Its Setting
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Animation is the process of creating the illusion of motion and shape, by means
of rapid switching of arranged images that minimally differ from each other. It is
categorized into 3 forms; cel animation, stop-motion and computer animation. The term
animation is derived from the Latin word animatio which means “the act of bringing to
life” The first attempt in making animation started on Egyptian age wherein they use to
make painting on walls showing different images. With the invention of pinakistoscope
and zoetrope in the year 1833, movement of static images became possible. As year
passes by, technologies and modern equipment enhances on how animation evolved.
Since childhood, animation play an important role in shaping everyone’s

imagination that give an alternative form of entertainment suitable for all ages. The fast
development of animation in the west, the need for outsourced services in Asia have
increased. Western countries cited Philippines as one of the potential country emerging
in animation industry in Southeast Asia. In the year 1980’s, animation have made its
way here in the Philippines. When the year 2000 came, animation also used in film and
advertising.
It was consider that animation industry is one of the highest business

outsourcing sector in the Philippines. Almost 80% of the production of an animated
episode was commissioned to Philippines, because of its cheap labor cost compared to
other countries. Foreign clients remarked Filipino animators for its creativity, good
communication skills and capable of producing quality output.
As it continuously evolve and became more popular, the demand for talented
and creative animators have also increased. This career created doorsteps for Filipino
employment and became one of the sector for Business Product Outsourcing. Foreign
investors come in and go within the country to invest and venture business opportunities
in animation here in the Philippines.
1.2 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Animation is a field that need a huge number of employment to create a

production team for an episode. The demands for animated series, movies and
advertisement have increased with a projected 16% annual growth within two years’

time. It only shows the extensive opportunities that the industry has to offer. However,
as one of the first country mover that take animation industry. The development
progress remain marginal compared to other countries.
Currently, Philippines invest in the talent of the animator while other countries
have been spending on latest technologies. As the industry grow, the need for animation
schools and training centers that will educate potential animators have increased.
Animation Council of the Philippines projected that as of 2010, there were 50 registered
companies and 10,000 local animators. According to Mr. Alstaire Sarthou, Animation
Director of Toppeg Animation Studio Inc. that, “there are still room for improvements
on the industry and demand for animation services increases as year passes by. With a
goal of creating own local animation content”.
The proposed animation studio and training center aims to create a place that
specialize in animation services. To promote the animation industry as one of the major
business process outsourcing available in the Philippine context. The proposed
structure will not only cater local residents but also encourage foreign guest and
investors. Providing a working environment that boost creativity and nurture ideas. An
advance step towards the future of Philippine animation.

TITLE: Philippines’ 3D Animation Schools: What the Industry Lacks
LOCATION: Quezon City
DESIGNER/AUTHOR/OWNER: CIIT Phils
DATE: October 15, 2014
SOURCE: CIIT Philippines
Summary:
Unknown to many people, the Philippines serves as a major global animation

hub for decades. Specializing in 2D, the country once controlled 90 percent of the
world’s animation outsourcing. The lack of proper skills and enough resources, though,
made Philippines to lose the chance to control the 3D market. To vie with countries,
such as Korea and India, the need for 3D animation schools in the Philippines that will
hone our talents in this field.
The Need for 3D Animation Schools
In the midst of these superb feats, there is still a need to exert more effort
because the country is lack of skilled 3D artists . This is somewhat due to the very few
breaks that Filipinos gain to develop the desired skills.
Relatedness to the Study:
Western countries cited Philippines as one the potential Southeast Asia

countries for animation. Pilipino animators are known to be creative and tend to have
low labor cost compared to other countries. The proposed animation hub will train and
educate animators to further enhance their skills in animation.

DESIGNER/AUTHOR/OWNER: Arline Ramirez
DATE: October 22, 2012
SOURCE: Microsourcing
Summary:
Animation is one of the promising sectors in the IT-BPO industry according to

Business Processing Association of the Philippines (IBPAP). The country's animation
industry has been growing since the 80's when companies in Australia, Canada, and the
US invested in Filipino animators. It earned $142 million and holds more potential as
BPO clients look overseas to outsource complex processes.
According to an article in Manila Bulletin, the Philippine animation industry is

slowly making progress but still needs room to grow. Lack of talent and government
support proves to be a challenge. The Animation Council of the Philippines (ACPI) has
taken measures to overcome these problems, but there's still a lot of work to be done.
Animation Scholarships
Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and ACPI

teamed up to create a program for would-be animators. ACPI came up with a
curriculum that is currently being used by TESDA's scholarship programs. Under the
Training for Work Program, ACPI created courses for disciplines such as 2D and 3D
animation. Back in 2005, the curriculum was implemented in TESDA centres.
In 2007, ACPI also created “Animahinasyon”, an annual animation festival

that presents original works from students and professionals. The winning entries are
then compiled and promoted in other countries.
Animation industry has a large market value worldwide for Business Process
Outsourcing thus creating more opportunities and sustainable economic growth.
Philippines as one of the potential Southeast Asian countries for animation, have an
advantage in terms of skills and creative animators. As animation get well known
world-wide and the demands for animation services increased, the need for skilled

animators also increased therefore establishing an Institute for learning the core
concepts of animation is an ideal way for the country to match other countries in
animation field.

CEBU, Philippines - With Cebu City being a central hub of business and
recreation in the country, it is only fitting that it also be a major center for the arts. One
area of the arts that seems to be bubbling up quite vigorously in the city is digital media.
In particular, Cebu has created a buzz around Asia in the last few years as an emerging
film-production education capital in the region.
On March 16, a new film school opened in Cebu - the Film and Media Arts
International Academy (FMA). It is the second accredited international vocational
school of its kind around here. Located in the old Sacred Heart School for Boys along
Gen. Maxilom Avenue, FMA offers programs firmly grounded in the technical crafts
required to make digital films. This includes the Diploma in Film and Creative Media
Arts as well as the Diploma in 3D Animation.
Animation industry at present times doesn’t just involved within the highly
urbanized city. It continues to venture more on provincial places to promote and
introduced animation. Some experts says that animation industry will continue to grow
as time pass by. There is an unending market in this industry wherein it caters all ages
of audiences.

TITLE: China’s New Animation Facility
LOCATION: China
DESIGNER/AUTHOR/OWNER: Elaine Kurtenbach
DATE: May 22, 2012
SOURCE: Facts and Details
Summary:
The National Animation Industry Park formally opened in May 2011 and
occupies roughly 250 acres at the Sino-Singaporean Tianjin Eco-City, 100 miles
southeast of Beijing. It represents part of the Ministry of Culture's $695-million attempt
to spur the national animation industry and make films that can compete on the
international market. Although the facility is managed by the government, film studios
from across China can rent space and equipment at subsidized rates---incentives
intended to encourage more cartoon production. A company or government agency can
even simply present an idea, and animators at the facility will take care of the rest---
though of course the content is subject to censorship rules. A number of private
companies are expected to establish satellite offices at the park.
The campus boasts the latest in animation technology from around the world,
including the largest motion-capture studio in Asia and what it says is the fastest
rendering software in the world.
Animation has a worldwide market. Most Asian countries wanted to excel to

animation industry. China have already made its step on advancing towards the future
of animation by establishing animation studio and schools. China and Philippines is
still new in animation field. The proposal will serve as a stepping stone for Philippine
animation. It will encourage and promote animation within the country and educate
potential animators.

3.2 Assessment of Review of related Literature
Animation is one of the sector of business that generates billion dollar income.
These numbers signify the extensive market that animation has to offer. Therefore,
facilities for production and training for animation is needed. The proposal aims to
create a central place for the local animation industry that will help in the economic
revenue of the country. The review of related literature will help the researcher to give
possible solutions to the proposal that will be use in designing and creating each spaces
of the animation hub.

Capital Region (NCR). It is bounded in the north by the city of Manila, in the northeast
by the city of Makati and the municipality of Taguig, in the west by the city of
Paranaque, and in the west by the Manila Bay. The city is located approximately at
latitude 14º32' and longitude 121º00'. In terms of area, Pasay is the third smallest
political subdivision among the cities and municipalities of NCR. It occupies a total
land area of 13.9 sq. kilometers. It is known as the “Premier Gateway of the Philippines”
Pasay Description:
Total Area: 1,805.11 hectares
Population : 392,869

Climate
The climate of Pasay is classified as Type 1 under the Corona classification of

PAGASA. It is characterized by two pronounced seasons: rainy season from May to
October and dry season from January to April, when rainfall drops to 10-30-mm/
month.
Temperature
Pasay has an average normal annual temperature of 27.5 °C. The warmest months are
April, May and June while the coldest months are December, January and February
with the minimum temperature of 25-26°C.
Relative Humidity
Relative humidity or the percentages of water vapor in the air ranges, in monthly values,
from 66% to 81% with an annual average of 75%. These values indicate that Pasay is
relatively humid.
Wind Speed and Direction
The annual prevailing wind direction in the area is towards the east. The average annual
wind speed is 3.0 meters per second (mps). High wind speed occurs in March to April
while low wind speed happens in September to November.
Rainfall
The rainy months of May – October indicated monthly rainy days of 7- 20 with the
month of July recording the highest at 20.
4.3.1 Geographic and
Physical Profile
Pasay is characterized by two terrain types, an eastern undulating section and

western alluvial portion. As per Metro Manila physiography was classified into six
zones:
a. the Manila Bay d. Marikina Valley

b. the Coastal Margin e. Laguna Lowlands
c. the Guadalupe Plateau f. Laguna de Bay

Topography, Elevation and Slope
The western part of Pasay City is level to nearly level while its southeastern part is
gently sloping to gently undulating. It is characterized by coastal plains along the
Manila Bay in the west and sloping areas extending in the south-east direction. Surface
elevations range from 2 meters above the mean sea level on the coastal plains and 24
meters on the southeast part of the city.
Land and Associated Soil Characteristics

As per Metro Manila Land Resource Evaluation Project by BSWM, Pasay has the
following land and soil characteristics
 Active Tidal Flats (Coastal Landscape)
Active tidal flats, with an almost flat relief, have an elevation that ranges from 0 to
1.5 meters, sometimes reaching up to 3 meters above the mean sea level. This land
system has very poor drainage characteristics. Waterlogged areas may pose a corrosion
problem to underground uncoated steel pipes or structural reinforcement. Poor
drainage is also a problem in sewage disposal in areas which are not served by public
sewer facilities. It is further characterized by slow permeability, high compressibility,
and possible flooding during seasonal high water table. Soil texture or the different
sizes of particles in the soil mass are clay, silty clay, and sandly clay loam. The parent
materials of this land classification are tidal mudflats with muck and peat locally,
alluvial sediments.
 Former Tidal Flats (Coastal Landscape)
The former tidal flats consist of areas more inland and slightly higher than the active
tidal flats. They occupy the almost flat plains, backswamps and depression of the
coastal landscape formed from marine and flovio-marine deposits. Slightly lower then
the alluvial plain, its elevation ranges from 2 to 5 meters. It has slow to moderate
permeability and a soil texture of clay to silty clay loam. Moreover, it is poorly drained,
prone to moderate seasonal flooding, highly compressible, and corrosive to uncoated
steel. Its parent materials are alluvial sediments, former tidal mudflats underlain with
peaty and mucky materials.

 Liquefaction Hazard
Liquefaction is associated with the phenomenon of quick-condition failure which is
generally obtained when pore water in a liquefied layer rises into overlying near-surface
sediments that results in a condition resembling quicksand. Areas that are prone to
liquefaction are those underlain by water-saturated, thick fine to coarse sand layers such
as those along the Pasig River Delta Plain, lake shore areas of Laguna de Bay and the
shorelines of Manila Bay.

4.3.2 Socio- Economic Profile
After four decades of rapid urbanization in Metropolitan Manila, Pasay City has
transformed into an important local corridor between major urban centers. Its
southwestern portion provides access between the city of Manila in the north with cities
and municipalities like Parañaque, Las Piñas as well as the nearby municipalities in
Cavite in the south. Likewise, its southeastern portion links Parañaque, Muntinlupa and
Laguna with the cities of Manila, Makati, Mandaluyong as well as Quezon City. Pasay
City is a facilitator of trade among its neighboring LGUs. The city also serves as an
international gateway not just to Metro Manila but the whole Philippines with the
existence of both the domestic and international airports within its jurisdiction. There
are numerous recreational and cultural destinations that attract local visitors and foreign
tourists. Cultural attractions include the Nayong Pilipino at the airport area that
showcases miniature versions of real natural attractions in the Philippines, and the
numerous venues for shows at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) Complex
 Labor Force and Employment
In 2000, Pasay City had an estimated labor force of 291,800 representing 80.4% of
the population. Pasay City had only 84.5% of its total labor force gainfully employed.
 The Leading Industries of Pasay City
Pasay City’s rapid urbanization has seen the decline of traditional industries and
their replacement with more service-oriented types of livelihood and industries. The
rising population and the growing demand for their immediate needs have caused too
much pressure on land and the surrounding environment. The demand for space and the
subsequent invasion of creeks and rivers by informal settlers has eased out vegetable
farming, fishing, livestock raising and the culture of marine products.
The recent trend towards a global-oriented economy had various impacts in the
Philippines as the system promoted consumerism that created a demand for service-
oriented industries. In Pasay City, such service industries took the form of financial
services, medical services, general merchandising, recreation services and light
manufacturing.

 Rest and Recreational Business Services
Businesses related to rest and recreation were also prevalent economic activities
in Pasay City. There were about 339 business services that were classified as rest and
recreation in 2000. Of this total, 168 were amusement centers and 122 were. The city
had 20 high-end hotels and another 22 less luxurious lodging facilities.
 Public Terminals and Commercial Garages
There were 15 bus terminals observed in the city, many of which are situated in
the major thoroughfares such as EDSA or circumferential Road 4. There were also nine
commercial garages being used as terminals. In addition, it was estimated that there
were about 2,500 tricycles providing short-distance travel to residents along the city’s
inner sections as well as in the secondary and tertiary roads. Aside from public land
transportation terminals, the city is also host to two rail transit terminals operated by
Light Rail Transit and the Metro Rail Transit.
4.3.3 Socio- Cultural Profilce
4.3.3.1 History
The Namayan kingdom was a confederation of barangays formed in 1175. It

included lands between Manila Bay in the west and Laguna de Bay in the east. Dayang-
dayang Pasay inherited the lands which are currently comprised of the territories of
Culi-culi, Pasay and Baclaran. The royal capital of the kingdom was built in Sapa,
known today as Santa Ana. During the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries, the natives
brought their products to the capital of Namayan where trading flourished. Merchants
from China, the Moluccas, Java, Borneo, Sumatra, India, Siam, and Cambodia came to
trade with the natives.
In September 1973, Marcos issued Presidential Decree No. 557, changing back
the political subdivisions within the towns and cities from barrios to the pre-Spanish

barangays. Countries worldwide, including the Philippines, have formed regional
alliances to keep up with foreign competition. In the Philippines, local companies have
streamlined and re-tooled their operations to increase their efficiency. Amidst all these
changes, the city of Pasay has the opportunity to become the country’s next important
center of business, trade, and commerce.
4.3.3.2 Population Growth Rate
As of 2010, the total population of Pasay City was 392,869 persons which
constituted 3.31 percent of Metro Manila’s population of 11,855,975 persons. Pasay
City’s population growth had been decelerating over the census years. A decrease in
population was posted during the 1995-2000 period. As of 2010 however, showed an
increase of 37,961 persons which represented an annual growth rate of 1.02 percent.

14 and at ages 30-39.
4.3.4 Infrastructure and Utilities Existing
The Pasay City is served by a network of roads, mostly concreted, and provides
internal access within the city and to all its barangays. Several roads serve as important
linkages of the city to the rest of Metro Manila. The primary highways that run north to
south are Roxas Boulevard and Taft Avenue. The other major road that runs north to
south and carries heavy public transport traffic is F. B. Harrison.

municipalities. PLDT as the main telephone provider while Globe Telecom, SMART,
and Bayan Tel serve as the minor service provider. Major newspapers are available
every day in Pasay City.
4.3.4.6 Waste Disposal System
The system of solid waste collection adopted by the city is both practical and
efficient. The garbage is collected regularly on most of the major roads of the city by
hauling contractors commissioned by the city government. There are two main
methods of regular garbage collection in Pasay City. The first one is by truck collection
participated by a number of garbage hauling contractors. The other method is by the
use of pushcarts especially in areas inaccessible to hauling contractors.

 Water Management
To address the countrywide water crisis which adversely affects the health and
well being of the population, food production and industrialization process, the National
Water Crisis Act of 1995 was enacted. Some of the issues related to the water crises

are: water supply, water distribution, financing aspects, privatization of state-run water
facilities, the protection and conservation of watersheds, and pilferage of water,
including the serious matter of graft and corruption in all the water agencies.
 Air Quality Management
The Clean Air Act of 1999 recognizes that the responsibility of cleaning the
habitat and environment is primarily area-based, thus, a local government concern.
 Solid Waste Management (SWM)
At present, the city of Pasay disposes of its solid waste in the San Mateo
Sanitary Landfill and the Payatas dumpsite. As per a JICA study on Solid Waste
Management for Metro Manila involving government agencies such as DECS, DENR
and MMDA, Pasay City along with Taguig, Pateros and the city of Makati shall be
accommodated in the proposed Transfer Station within Fort Bonifacio and then dumped
in an inland landfill site to be later specified.

Philippine Animation Industry: Future Challenges
The Philippine animation industry has gained substantial position in the global
animation outsourcing industry. However, the country will slowly lose its position as
one of the more competitive destinations for outsourcing animation services if
challenges in the sector are not addressed properly. Below are some of the challenges
the industry needs to address to be able to meet the industry potential and level-off
industry threats.
 Collaboration of Industry Players
One of the major challenges of the Philippine animation industry is the lack of large
animation companies capable of supporting and fulfilling large international clients.
Since most of the companies are small and medium in scale, the industry is seen to be
fragmented with small players doing their individual work without minding the
collective capacity of the industry. With the opportunities available, the industry needs
to find a way to consolidate its efforts in order to bring in the bigger contracts which
will be ultimately beneficial for the industry as a whole.
 Infrastructure Investment
Near term investment in the industry is also seen as a challenge for the industry. With
its Asian competitors making significant investments to develop their animation
sectors, the Philippine animation industry should follow suit in this developmental path
if it wants to sustain its place as a major competitor. In terms of infrastructure
investment, the industry must be able to attract local as well as foreign investors in order
to boost infrastructure development. The challenge is also for the animation companies
to take the risk of investing in infrastructure, more specifically in the acquisition of new
animation software and related hardware technologies.
 Developing Talent Pool
The industry also faces the challenge of investing more to improve its local talent and
meet the needs of the animation industry for more skilled workers. Despite the large
number available graduates to work in the industry, the number of skilled animators is
still low. Considerable investment in time and resources are needed in order to hone the
skills of new animators. This dilemma is largely attributed to lack of training in relevant
animation skill-sets of graduates and entry–level employees. Further, with an average

pay of US$250 to US$300 per month, local animators in the Philippines will continue
to seek higher paying jobs outside the country. With an already low number of available
skilled animators, this condition will further deplete the available talent pool.
 Government Assistance
In order to neutralize the growing competition in the global animation space, the
Philippine animation industry needs stronger backing from the government. The
challenge is for the industry to convince officials that investments by the government
in the industry will help the country achieve economic gains with revenues from the
global animation industry. Assistance may be in form of addressing the pressing needs
of the animation industry through legislative action, tax incentives, or IP policy
regulation. If the government is able to provide an enabling legislative environment for
the local animation industry, in terms of policies that provide incentives to follow.

5.5 Design Framework
5.5.1 Design Philosophy
“We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us."
By: Winston Churchill
Explanation:
Building is the physical manifestation of an architectural design. It is tan output

of an architects imagination and creativity. A particular structure is designed in
accordance to a particular design program and pattern. It is particularly designed as a
response for a user’s need. A pragmatic approach to deal with human behavioral
response to the way a building is designed.
5.5.2 Design Concept
Interpretation of “thinking outside of the box” to enhance creativity and productivity.
5.5.2.1 Facade Concept
Flip Book
A flip book is the oldest form of animation.

The form of a flip book that was in motion was
adopted to show the different transitions of each
spaces from active to passive zones.
5.5.2.2 Functional Concept Figure 5.18 Facade Concept
Fun + Learning + Innovation + Place = Experience
The proposed studio and training facilities for animation aims to create an
environment wherein users will experience fun while learning. A place for innovation
and collaboration of ideas.
5.5.2.3 Space Concept
Creativity Collaboration
Communicate

5.5.2.4 Structural Concept
Steel Grid System
An efficient structural system that is used to reduced deflections, ease in

construction phase and more economical compare to other construction methods. All
element of the grid contribute to the load carrying capacity wherein, load are more
evenly distributed to the supports.
Integration of Cellular Beams
Provision to building utilities, cellular beams will
give maximum efficiency to service zones like
air ducts and pipes.
Foundation
Pile System
Since the proposed structure is located in a

reclaimed area, it would be ideal to use piles as
the main core system of the foundation to achieve
stability and avoid failure on design
5.5.3 Design Consideration

Figure 5.19 End Bearing Pile
The proposed Studio and Training Center for Animation
design consideration was based on the following criteria.
Circulation
Spatial relationship of each departments and behavioral pattern of each users

were considered to create an efficient traffic flow of users.
 Animator Circulation – designing a space for animators in consideration on the

process of making an animation. To determine spaces that is needed to be
adjacent with each other.
 Pedestrian Circulation – to determine the pedestrian movement along the
vicinity. To create an efficient layout of spaces for the users.

 Vehicular Circulation – to analyze the vehicular movement on the site. To
determine the proper location of ingress and egress points.
Flexibility of Space
It is an important factor to assess the use of space, to know what are other
adjustment or improvement that can be done.
 Design for People – in consideration to the anthropometrics and ergonomics of

the users. To give spaces that is comfortable and habitable.
 Design for Multi-functionality – creating rooms that are multi-purpose which
can accommodate any activites.
 Provision for Universal Design – creating spaces that in concern to the person
with disability users.
Quality and Habitable Spaces
The use of natural light, applications of psychology of colors is needed to create

a healthy environment.
 Harmony with Nature – integration of natural condition to the overall design of

the structure. Taking advantage on the natural lighting, wind circulation and
land topography.
 Promote Open Spaces – creating open spaces which promotes social interaction
and encourages outdoor activities.
 Energy Efficient Design – designing a structure that minimizing the use of
electrical and mechanical energy. An awareness of reducing greenhouse
emissions.
 Orientation – determining the proper orientation of spaces to maximize
environmental conditions of the site.
Parking Requirements
Since CCP Complex prohibits the use of basement parking, maximizing the
lower space to accommodate the required parking requirements.

Climate and Physical Profile
Proper analysis of the wind direction and climate will help in designing the
building efficiency. Considering natural disasters like earthquake, tsunami and
typhoons.
Security
Establishing proper security facilities will maintain safety along the vicinity.
Interior Colors
The interior color scheme must encourage and affects the user’s perception or
activity.
Interaction Spaces
Animators are creative people thus, providing spaces which encourage social
interaction and unexpected collaboration can increase productivity.
Office Layout Consideration
Office space can be divided into three types:
 Close Plan Office – spaces are divided into offices by wall of full height with
doors. In this type of offices generally private offices are typically located along
the window wall and administrative supports are housed in workstations along
with corridor or in a shared room.
 Open Plan Office- all the workstations are located in a n open space without
floor to ceiling divisions and doors. While administrative supports are located
in rooms with floor to ceiling partition with doors. These type of\ spaces are
suitable for the staff with high division of labor and performing routine works
with low level of concentration.
 Modified Open Plan Office – combines the elements of both closed and open
type office. Workstations is placed in an open plan with system furniture and
others in private offices . Administrative support is located in an enclosed room.

5.5.4 Research Focus
Integration of Biophilic Design
-Biophilic design is an approach to architecture that seeks to connect building

occupants more closely to nature. Biophilic designed buildings incorporate things like
natural lighting and ventilation, natural landscape features and other elements for
creating a more productive and healthy built environment for people.
It is an innovative way of designing

places for living, work and learning. Adding
elements of Nature to living spaces can
presumably induce positively valued changes
in cognition and emotion, which again may
impact on stress level, health and well-being.
The stress reducing effect may be a key
element as to the health benefits of Nature.
Stress plays a role in the etiology and course of
several common health problems, including
cardiovascular diseases, anxiety disorders and
depression. It is noteworthy that beneficial
effects of Nature can occur even upon
relatively brief exposure.
Benefits: Figure 5.20 Biophilic Design
1. Increase healing
2. Attention for learning
3. Increase productivity, creativity and satisfaction
4. Appreciation to nature
5. Reduced stress
