 Biophilic Design: Improving Health and Well-Being in the Built Environment
.2 CEU | Member Price: $29 | Hosted by Terrapin Bright Green
Biophilia is the concept that humans have an innate desire to connect with nature and natural systems. Biophilic design builds on this human-nature connection to give designers a new framework to create spaces where people are healthier, more satisfied, and more productive. Biophilic design is based on research that identifies specific design patterns that have measurable, positive impacts on human health. Learn more and register.

The Well Living Lab, a new research facility dedicated to studying indoor environments and creating healthier indoor spaces in which to live, work, and play, was unveiled last week during Transform 2015. The Lab features research space that is sensor-rich and can be reconfigured to simulate a wide variety of real-world environments. This will allow researchers to design innovative studies to better understand how indoor spaces, and everything in them, can positively influence human health. Areas of study will include the impact on humans from environmental factors such as lighting, noise, air quality and temperature, as well as products and technologies that are used to create and furnish indoor spaces.

Here, groups of Marriott Rewards loyalty members—and sometimes competitors’ loyal guests, too—are invited to spend time in the rooms. The rooms are outfitted with cameras and microphones so researchers can record and analyze behavior.
