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.
