Please join IIDA Northland in Part 3 of our Back to Earth Series: A Biophilic Design Workshop, with acclaimed author and speaker Bill Browning. Bill is a respected thought leader and is the owner of Terrapin, a multidisciplinary consulting firm specializing in public and corporate policy, environmental performance strategies, and green development. He is the author of The Economics of Biophilia, 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design, Human Spaces 2.0 Hospitality and Biophilic Design, and most recently Nature Inside, a Biophilic Design Guide. Bill will lead us through a biophilic design workshop to help us support a more nuanced and deeper understanding of both the underlying science and design opportunities associated with biophilic design, and will provide tools and strategies for enmeshing the design process with biophilic principles and goals from start to finish.
There will be two segments in this workshop starting with a group exercise and then moving into a more in depth explanation of the 15 patterns of biophilic design and case studies that speak to the colleges and opportunities unique to this kind of project. As an added bonus we have 4 copies of Bill’s new book, Nature Inside, a Biophilic Design Guide, to giveaway during the event to a few lucky participants!
