It’s that time of year again… conference season! And no conference is more anticipated than Greenbuild, the world’s largest conference and expo dedicated to green building. This year’s theme–Human x Nature–is especially central to Terrapin’s contributions to this growing industry. Join Bill Browning, alongside Jonce Walker and Heather Walters of Thornton Tomasetti, and Maggie Stone of The Nature Conservancy in Maine as they discuss biophilic interventions for projects of all scales and typologies.
Their session, Immersive Biophilic Interventions, will explore a variety of exemplary biophilic design case studies, each with a strong connection to its surround cultural and ecological context. Participants will then have a chance to test their newfound skills, with a design exercise to implement climate-specific biophilic design interventions into a sample project.
