Living Future Europe is hosting Biophilia Camp + BarCamp 2024 Info Session. Make sure to attend it on July 24 🌿 Biophilia is the innate love for everything that is alive and natural and is a trait of the human psyche that has been forged in the course of the evolution of our species. Even today, biophilia inspires and conditions our environmental preferences. A biophilic environment is first of all a regenerative environment, where stress is reduced, and one recovers more easily from mental fatigue. Designing and building for measurable well-being in terms of thermal, neurological, light, olfactory and air quality, acoustic, aesthetic and motor perception is possible. Biophilic design shakes up the conceptual process by asking new questions, provokes new reflections on the potential of the built environment and invites the project team to explore the advantages of a design aimed at the connection between human being and nature. We are thrilled to inform you the official registrations for the next Biophilia Camp [23-26 September 2024] as well as for the first Biophilia BarCamp [27 September 2024] in South Tyrol are open! Join this free of charge info session where you will learn from the organising team, trainers and past attendees why the BC+BCC 2024 are the events you cannot miss to improve your biophilic potential 😉 #Biophilia2024 #BC24 #BBC24 #BiophiliaBarCamp #biophilia #biophilicdesign #BiophilicSociety #SouthTyrol #Suedtirol #AltoAdige

⛺🛶 What is the Biophilia Camp? Biophilia Camp 2024 is a week-long immersive learning experience that redefines the conceptual process of design by integrating nature deeply into our built environments. The camp challenges participants to reflect on how biophilic design can transform buildings to enhance human well-being and reduce environmental impact. Some Highlights: 🌟 A New Design Approach: Biophilic design invites project teams to explore the benefits of connecting humans with nature through their built environments, shaking up traditional design processes. 🌟 Environmental Impact: Despite global efforts, buildings still account for 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Biophilic design aims to mitigate these effects by creating sustainable and health-focused spaces. 🌟 Interdisciplinary Learning: The camp gathers professionals from various fields such as biology, psychology, architecture, and engineering for an integrative approach to biophilic design. 🌟 Target Participants: Ideal for architects, engineers, sustainability consultants, project managers, researchers, and more who are keen on driving change in the design, construction, and management of environments. 🤔 Why Attend? Attending Biophilia Camp 2024 is an exceptional opportunity for professional advancement. Participants will develop essential skills for creating a Living Future. The camp will provide a hands-on multidisciplinary approach that enhances professional expertise in biophilic design. By attending, you will join a network of like-minded professionals dedicated to innovating and leading the transformation of our built environments to promote well-being and sustainability. 📩 Information and registration: https://loom.ly/HTFF2zs 📆 Early bird pricing available until July 31st #Biophilia2024 #BC24 #LivingFutureEurope #LivingBuildingChallenge #SouthTyrol #LakeCaldaro #Biophilia #BiophilicDesgn #RegenerativeDesign
