An Introduction to Biophilic Design - Bringing Nature Back into the Built Environment: http://j.mp/3aFJca8 Structures are generally built in modern times to protect and separate us from the outdoors and natural elements. But it turns out that our exposure to nature and natural concepts can play an essential role in how calm or happy, and even productive humans can be in a built environment. This happens because nature opens our senses of sight, hearing, taste, and smell and touch. When these senses are stimulated, they can ease our stress and tension, help us to relax and to think more clearly. Being in nature can be uplifting for our moods, refreshing for our physical energy and vitality, and rejuvenating for our emotions. The term ‘biophilia’ was coined in the early 1980s by biologist Edward O. Wilson, who theorized that humans are biologically drawn to nature, the proximity of which helps their overall wellbeing. Applied to architecture, it’s a way to mitigate the effect of spending the larger part of our lives indoors, by bringing aspects of the natural worlds, such as natural light, water, greenery, and fresh air, into where we live and work. Do you have experience living or working with biophilic design elements? What did or do you find most appealing or beneficial? What natural design would you most like to create? #biophilicdesign #biophilia #biophilic #nature #design #architecture #building #buildings #greenbuilding #sustainability #light #daylighting #water #air #airquality #indoorairquality #IAQ #health #wellness #healthybuilding

The Performance-Based Façade Design conference in Venice concluded with resounding success, leaving Staticus' team inspired. 💡 As Aulikki Sonntag, our Chief Business Development Officer, said, "The event is serving as a platform for exploring how façades can be transformed from mere aesthetic elements into strategic contributors to sustainable and resilient building design." The initiative's emphasis on performance-based design resonated deeply with our team. Valentino Basile, our Sales Manager, noted, "The workshops on sustainability offered invaluable insights that align perfectly with the growing demand for sustainable building solutions in the construction market, where Staticus is poised to become a leading provider of innovative façade systems." From Aulikki's thought-provoking presentation about how façade design has always reflected the environmental, technological, and cultural trends of its time and how each generation of façade specialists challenges environmental conditions for new networking opportunities, the event provided a comprehensive view of the future of building envelopes. The opportunity to discuss it with industry leaders and develop new collaborations improved the experience. As Staticus is committed to sustainability, we are excited to apply the knowledge gained from this initiative to our ongoing projects and contribute to the development of more resilient buildings. A special thanks to the organiser, Angela Mejorin for curating such a compelling event. #performancebasedfacades #sustainability #futureofbuildings
