Description

How do we connect human emotion to the built environment? Is it possible to design spaces that produce serenity and wellbeing? Can we harness technology as a force for good rather than division? We’re diving into all of this and more with renowned architect, artist, and self-professed “serene-ist” Suchi Reddy, founder of Reddymade. Throughout her career, Suchi has strived to put human emotion at the center of everything she creates, from a biophilic, LEED Platinum Google flagship store to an interactive art installation in the Smithsonian that challenges viewers to imagine our collective future. Suchi credits her childhood in India, where biophilia was embedded into everyday life, with shaping her extraordinary perspective.Suchi Reddy founded Reddymade in 2002 and in the years since, the firm has built a reputation for experimentation with materials, color, and technology -  as well as their approach to the overlapping fields of architecture, design, and immersive works of art. Reddymade is the recipient of numerous awards including the NYCxDesign award, AIA Brooklyn + Queens Award, AIA New York Excelsior Award, and Interior Design’s best of the year awards. Show NotesReddymadeForm Follows Feeling Google at Milan 2019 Design Week: A Place for Being (YouTube)Suchi Reddy, Architect of Serenity (W Magazine)Designing a Digital Future by Suchi Reddy (New York Times Opinion)21 Questions with Architect Suchi Reddy (Curbed)Suchi Reddy and the Neuroaesthetics of Architecture (Design Well)Suchi Reddy talks about space, community, and tech in art with me + you (Stir World)Key Words: design, architecture, art, installation, technology, technology and culture, technology and society, nature, nature based learning, biophilia, biophilic design, Suchi Reddy, innovation, technology and innovation, neuroaesthetics, equity and inclusionCover Art Image © Ashok Sinha.

A podcast about the human connection to nature. Biophilia is the innate connection that human beings seek with the natural world. Every other week, hosts Monica Olsen and Jennifer Walsh sit down with thought-leaders and experts across a wide range of industries to discuss the impact that nature has on our wellbeing, why we need nature in order to thrive, and what steps we can all take to live in harmony with the natural world. They pose questions centered around finding common-sense solutions to some of society's biggest problems. Asking guests, how can we take local and global actions that nurture the living, social, and economic systems that will sustain future generations? Faced with challenges like climate change and an ongoing pandemic, reconnecting with nature has never been more imperative. We hope you’ll join the conversation around the growing biophilic movement and come along on our biophilic journey. Subscribe, follow and listen today, because nature has the answers.
