EDspaces 2022 EDsession Program & Schedule
Health & Equity Through Biophilic Design
How do you inclusively design nature-influenced experiences in the built environment considering equity, diversity, and culture, while promoting play, education, and growth? You will learn about systemic inequality issues related to nature access and investigate what biophilia means for the nature deprived. Design Ethics will be introduced as a toolkit to establish a baseline for framing and terminology and explained through a series of Case Studies. We will discuss participatory design processes or co-design to allow for more inclusive and creative spatial conditions while simultaneously considering the health, safety, welfare, and delight of the community.
