About this webinar

Biophilia is defined as a love of the living world. We seek nature, especially when we don't feel well. Nature can calm us with a beautiful sunset or invigorate us with a spring rain. Both ancient and modern people use nature in healing, whether it's a sacred spring, a reflective pond, a quiet grove, and majestic peaks. For centuries we have sought these sanctuaries in our quest for health and healing.

This webinar explores the science of biophilia that embraces nature as the teacher to solve complex issues in challenging building spaces.  It will further discuss circadian and color kinetic lighting, human sustainability, healthy buildings, human factors, and nature's geometry of fractals as design tools for the built environment.
