Seminar#1: Biophilic Design - Designing for Increased Employee Performance
IDCEC Accreditation #: 111321-R1- Health, Safety, Welfare approved for 1.5hr HSW Credit In the built environment, we can use the emerging field of Biophilic design to create building interiors that connect people to nature; that are connect to their place and mimic the sensory delight of a hike through the woods; that evoke emotions we feel when immersed in water, that bring nature’s smells, sounds, colours and textures indoors. Biophilia has historically been considered a “nice to have” benefit but evidence-based design is proving that there is benefit in these physical and psychological connections with attraction and retention being high on the list of employee satisfaction. This is a 1-1/2 hour session for the presentation and an experiential technique used in nature therapy that everyone can participate in.
