As we become an increasingly urban population, living in zero-culture ecosystems, it has become necessary to re-discover nature in ways that were intuitive just a few generations ago. Daylight - yes please! Multi-directional views to the outside - yep! Visual diversity, texture, color, prospect, and refuge - of course! The biophilic workplace has become emblematic of this re-discovery effort by both designers and corporations - perhaps as a way to improve both occupant experience and productivity while also providing a counterpoint to how far afield we’ve wandered in the name of progress in shaping the places we work and live.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></p><p class="normal"><font face="Calibri" class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 15px;">Join us for a lively discussion with practitioners on the leading edge of biophilic design. <span class="" style="color: rgb(26, 23, 24);">How can biophilic principles support a healthier, more resilient urban environment? </span>What does a biophilic workplace look like?
