#2 | Why you need more nature in your life
“People love nature,” this seems very intuitive and obvious, yet, we don’t act as if we knew that. In the second episode of “Why on Earth” we question people’s need for nature and how design can help with that. With the expertise of Judith Heerwagen, researcher and faculty member at the University of Washington, we discover everything there is to know about biophilic design, the connection between nature and humans, and why we need to bring nature back in our lives.
