Defined as “a love of the living world,” biophilia starts with accepting Einstein’s invitation to “Look! Look! Deep into nature [to] understand everything.” For millennia, humans have turned to nature in our quest for health, healing, and survival. Over the past century, however, we seem to have shunned nature-based solutions in favor of high-tech solutions. While we are reaping the benefits of many of these technological advances, we also see their limitations and dire unintended consequences. With the future of our species at stake, we are witnessing a renewed interest in the wisdom of nature to restore balance. This session is an opportunity to take a closer look at the frameworks that nature provides to help design professionals solve complex issues in the built environment. Organic design is not a trend or style. It is design based on programmatic needs of healing modalities. It’s about turning to nature for cues on how to design healthy buildings that promote all life forms by restoring symbiosis between our built environment and the natural ecosystems within which it is embedded.

For most of history, mankind has lived in harmony with the rhythm of nature. However, Americans have evolved into a nation that spends 90% of its time isolated indoors. The result of this disconnect has proven to impact on both physical and mental health.
This course will examine the use of architecture, accessibility, lighting and finish materials to bring the outdoors to the interior space. Furthermore, we will consider how the principles of interior design can be applied to the outdoors. We will examine how blurring the line between indoor and outdoor spaces can contribute to a safer, healthier and more universal beautiful environment.

What is a Net Zero Energy Building and why should you care?
Well for one, new federal mandates will be coming into play very soon that will create enormous changes. Also, global demand for energy is rising at exponential rates as it becomes even more scarce and expensive.
Net zero design allows you to create buildings that have lower energy demands and can generate their own energy requirements on site. Sounds great right? This course will give you some of the basics for how to go about adding net zero features to your projects to create better structures, happier clients and a better world.

Poverty, homelessness, crime, discrimination, mental illness, violence and other societal issues can result in psychological trauma. This creates the need for recuperative built environments such as shelters, day centers, supportive housing and other facility types that can assist people’s return to a place of well-being. Through this course’s information, case studies and discussion, you will learn about the needs of people who experience trauma and the guidelines of trauma-informed care. You will also explore how to apply trauma-informed strategies to design projects so that you can create effective, assistive environments for people in need.
