In this episode, Bill Browning and Catie Ryan of Terrapin Bright Green, authors of Nature Inside and 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design, make the case that biophilic design and biophilia in the workplace are no longer optional extras but essential workplace strategy for anyone serious about the future of work.
From fractal lighting and fractal fluency to daylighting office environments and dynamic lighting that shifts brain states from calm to engaged, they reveal how a nature-inspired office and green office design can transform workplace productivity, drive return to office, and create a workplace experience that no ping pong table can replicate.
Drawing on cutting-edge biophilia science, including new research on epigenetics and nature, biophilic design research, and neurodiversity in the workplace; Bill and Catie show how human centered design and biophilic architecture are reshaping the office environment to support employee wellbeing and workplace wellbeing across every setting, from hybrid work environments to corporate real estate portfolios. With real case studies this is the conversation on nature at work and what sustainable workplace design actually looks like when the science drives every decision.
