Building Science & BIophilia: Designing Spaces with People and Planet in Mind
What causes humans to gravitate to certain spaces, places and buildings and avoid others? As it turns out, nature and science provide some explanations.
Humans are innately and biologically connected to nature, which explains why lush gardens can recharge our creativity and energy, why we’re captivated by crackling fires, and why shadows and heights can evoke a sense of fascination, exploration and awe. And there are certain aspects of nature that most impact our satisfaction with the built environment. At the same time, building science can be used to not only enhance the comfort of a space, but also enhance the health and well-being of people and the planet.
Discover how to bring biophilic design and building science together to create magnetic spaces that simultaneously promote health and well-being for people and the planet.
