Biophilic Design and Architectural Coatings | Presented by Dunn Edwards

Join ASID and Dunn Edwards as we explore biophilic design.....while enjoying refreshing summer treats.

Biophilic Design is “Great design that recognizes and embraces how humans are biological creatures with deeply rooted biological needs.” Our need to maintain a connection to nature – for our physical, physiological and emotional well-being – has been understood by artists, scientists and designers for many years. And most people have known it intuitively ever since the advances of industry began to separate us from natural surroundings. Today, the benefits to our bodies and minds of this contact with nature are being understood in more and more detail. And this increasing awareness has brought biophilia and biophilic design to the forefront of our thinking and behavior. It’s now inspiring domestic and commercial environments around the world.

Learning Objectives:

• Introduces the concept of biophilia - the human desire to connect with nature - and examines how paint, coatings, and color can have biophilic effects
• The positive impacts of biophilic design on health, well-being, trends, and influences within a biophilic framework are presented
• The environmental benefits of paint are discussed, and there is an overview of color trends and influences within a biophilic framework.
• Explains how paint and coatings are inherently eco-efficient and can contribute to the overall sustainability of a building project
• Describe how different industries are incorporating biophilic color strategies into their interior design
