In this episode, we sat down with Bill Browning, co-founder of Terrapin Bright Green and one of the green building industry’s foremost thinkers, to talk about bringing nature into the built environment and the science behind why it so effectively enhances human wellbeing. Using the 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design as our guide, we explore the ways in which architects, designers, and individuals can incorporate nature-based principles into their spaces and the wealth of possible positive outcomes, from improving workplace performance and productivity, producing a greater sense of calm, and even promoting a more charitable and sociable mindset. Follow Bill on Twitter.Biophilic Solutions is brought to you by the Biophilic Institute and the Biophilic Leadership Summit. Follow your hosts Monica Olsen and Jennifer Walsh on Twitter.Show Notes14 Patterns of Biophilic Design: Improving Health and Wellbeing in the Built Environment, by William Browning, Catherine O’Ryan, and Joseph ClancyNature Inside: a biophilic design guide, by William Browning and Catherine O’Ryan, 2020What is Biophilic Design?
