Designing With Nature

Biophilia, biodiversity, biomimicary, biochemistry and aesthetics provides the basis for this presentation. From antiquity through today, artists, philosophers, architects, and designers have designed from and with nature.

Across cultures, politics, history, and styles designers have integrated the structure, form, and ornament of nature. Natural artistry has an enduring appeal on the human psyche.

Nature has its own unique way of ordering things; it is the interplay of the physical with its biological dynamics, it is cognitive processing with rational and mathematical order, and it is emotional which lifts the sprit. Indulges the emotion of the soul.

We are biologically designed to respond to natural surroundings. They are an essential element to healing environments.
