(Re)inviting the love of Nature to our homes, workspaces and cities
Every so often, an idea emerges that acts as a total game-changer, fundamentally altering how we perceive the world around us. Biophilic design is such an idea, and one that most of our built world has forgotten.
Biophilic design (re)connects us with the simple idea that we are nature, and that humanity’s relationship with nature is fundamental to our health and wellbeing.
We spend 90% of our time indoors.
It’s time to design environments that actually fit our biology. This course moves beyond aesthetics to teach you the evidence-based science of connecting people to nature. It is the deliberate attempt to translate the inherent human affinity and need for nature into the built environment.
