Intro To Biophilic Design

Take your architectural and interior designs up to the next level by introducing nature experiences into your spaces.

What you'll learn

Where biophilia comes from: we'll review some key points of our human evolution and environmental psicology

How biophilia relates to biophilic design: our biophilic design has to trigger our biophilia, and you'll learn how to do that.

The health and wellness benefits of implementing biophilic design

The basis of biophilic design: we'll go over the rules one should play by and the different specific strategies that can be implemented

All of the different biophilic design strategies and specific examples for each one of them

How biophilic design is implemented into schools, healthcare facilities, workplaces and homes

Requirements

No previous knowledge or experience is needed as everything you need to know is thoroughly explained in the course

Description

Are you looking to level up your architectural and interior design projects? Would you like to give your built spaces a different twist to make them more healthy and appealing? Whether you're a professional or a design enthusiast, this course is ideal for anyone who wants to learn new architectural and interior design techniques, and profoundly understand how this design technique works.Biophilia is the innate affinity of human beings with the natural world and biophilic design aims to trigger our inner biophilia to improve our health and emotional wellbeing in indoor spaces. During this course:We'll explore in depth what biophilia is, where it comes from and what it is that triggers it.The key points of environmental human psychology to understand how biophilia works our minds.Go over what biophilic design is about, and the rules and framework that should be followed while creating your design projects.The 6 different categories of strategies to implement biophilic design and specific examples for each one of them.To wrap it all up, we'll go over several case studies to see how biophilic design is implemented into different architectural and interior design projects (schools, healthcare facilities, workplaces and homes).Can't wait to walk you through your introductory journey to biophilic design. See you soon!
