Episode Notes

A focus on nature is breathing new life into how we design our homes — even our cities. Hosts Corey S. Powell and Kristen Meinzer explore the principles of biophilia: the foundation of a design practice that incorporates the living patterns of the outdoor world into the places where we live and work. Human beings gravitate to nature, studies show, and “natureful” designs improve our mood and wellbeing — a necessity with people spending more time at home. Episode Guests: Bethany Borel, WELL AP, Senior Associate at COOKFOX Architects and Tim Beatley, Professor of Sustainable Communities, Urban and Environmental Planning at the University of Virginia and Founder of Biophilic Cities.
