Learning Objectives
1. Define the concept of biophilic design including the human response to nature. Elaborate on the misconceptions of biophilia that may hold designers back. 2. Describe the psychological, economical, and environmental benefits of biophilic design. 3. Explain how building products that mimic nature can illicit the same human response as natural materials. 4. As an example, discuss alternative-wood products and their use in biophilic design. List the benefits of this tree-free solution that looks and performs like wood, is economical, and low maintenance. 5. Identify the numerous design solutions and applications for these simulated-wood products.

good presentation
SpencerFelt a bit like an extended ad. Started okay with general info on biophilic design, but did not take a deeper dive or talk about a variety of materials.

JustinBiophilic Design for All: Affordable, Low-Maintenance Materials That Mimic Nature
FREE
Most architects have heard about biophilic design and agree with the concept of bringing the outdoors inside. However, very few designers take purposeful steps to incorporate it into their plans. Designers may assume that biophilic design is expensive or high maintenance, reserved for only those high-end projects. One may assume that bringing nature inside is complicated and requires customization. An architect may assume that some projects don’t warrant biophilia, like a warehouse. In this one-hour course, we’ll address those assumptions that hold architects back. We’ll introduce a simulated-wood product that mimics nature and delivers that positive human response. You’ll see numerous design ideas and applications that exemplify economical and low maintenance solutions for any project type. At the end of the course, we think you’ll agree that biophilic design is obtainable for any project and every occupant.
Credits: 1 AIA HSW + 1 GBCI (USGBC/CAGBC) + 1 AIBD Primary + 1 AIBC Core LU + 1 AAA Structured LU + 1 OAA, OAQ, SAA, MAA, AAPEI, NWTAA
