Studying Technobiophilia from Mexico! You 2 rock!

What an exciting & inspiting project👌

I've always wondered if it's possible to have timber buildings. Will they be strong enough? What is the limit to their height? Will they be cost-effective? I am so glad to have watched this video! It answers my questions and more. Thank you to Architect Waugh. I really learned a great deal from him especially on the innovations of timber construction! And your questions have brought out insights from him that needed answers. Thank you so much!

E.O. Wilson from Harvard is credited with this theory. Stephen Kellert wrote KINSHIP TO MASTERY which explains this theory in layman's terms.

I really enjoyed this, it was very informative!!!

This interview, and the work on cycling by CDKN means a lot to me in terms of putting into practice activities based on the information from the CDKN research

Hello!! Greetings from México ❤ Imagine my sorprise when I find that my favorite designer from changing rooms shows up talking about my new obsession, biophilic design😊 such an amazing coincidence

Not only an absolutely interesting topic but a down-to-earth person who is pleasant to listen to. Sooner or later studies will come out that not only does biophilic desing benefit health, but biophilic designers do too! Living walls are a thorny topic and as a designer and consultant in biophilic design it is really tricky to come up with these kinds of solutions, especially because of their cost and maintenance. However, I am sure that as time goes on there will be more and more inexpensive solutions with more and more automated maintenance.

Absolutely amazing...my God, I have been looking for Biophilic and greenwall designer. I want to know more about your business

This is wonderful. I can’t wait to read your book and check out your website.

Thank you for your inspiring talk. I will incorporate your ideas into my design.

Another great podcast. Thank you 🙏🌲

I love the concept and want to make part of it. Thank you for the lovely talk.🙏

I am currently reading his book and I am loving it!❤️🌲

Very interesting Nigel......

Absolutely Amazing!! Just what we all need . 🎉 Thank you ladies

That was really enlightening, thank you for sharing :)

I love the way AnnyCee talks about her passion and understand why she does what she is doing, at this moment in time🍀💚🍀 Good luck with your beautiful idea🌲🌴🌳

This should be shared on the TV instead of half the rubbish that they show.

Great information, thank you both. It is so wonderful to hear that almost half of London is green space.

Sadly, it's not rocket science is it !! Keep up the good work

Thanks a lot for this présentation

Great interview with Elliot Bennett regarding Biophyllic Design and the role live plants can play in the built environment! Creating the Biophyllic Design Awards with Green Plants for Green Buildings and National Horticulture Foundation was a welcome addition to the Interior Plantscaping industry!

Astonishing.

Thank you! I am a college student somewhat lost in knowing what I want to do, but your podcast has honestly been helping me envision more:)

Good information 👍🏻

Fung shway. Wind, water, earth, fire, plants, minerals.

I would like to discuss with you the possibility of being my co-Sv .. I am doing Neuroarchitecture.

Very interesting, thank you.

Brilliant!

Coolest concept on earth!

Adored the conversation!
