Why on earthAuthor: Dirk Wynants, Extremis

Why are we betting on more connection between humans & nature? In this podcast series we explore big ideas around purpose and dissect a world of change through the lens of optimism.

#2 | Why you need more nature in your life
Episode 2
Wednesday, 10 February, 2021
Why you need nature in your daily lifeIf we understand our connection with nature, why have we built ourselves away from it? In the second episode of ‘Why on earth’, we uncover how our connection to the nature is rooted in our evolution, and why you may need more of it, for your benefit and the planet.“We design zoos for animals better than we design buildings for people,” a quote by pioneer in the field of biophilic Judith Heerwagen. A view on architecture and design that stops many people in their tracks. With the expertise of Judith Heerwagen, today a researcher and faculty member at the University of Washington, we discover the roots of biophilic design and the connection between humans and nature. In this episode we shed new light on biophilic design and answer important questions like “Why is the connection with nature critical for your wellbeing?”, “Why is biophilic design not a standard practice in design?”, “How much nature do we require?” and “Why should we build habitats instead of buildings?”.More information, questions or suggestions?podcast@extremis.com
