About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, Today I'm excited to have Dr. Jane Smith with us, an expert in Biophilic Design and Sustainability. She's here to talk about the 'Certified Specialist Programme in Biophilic Design for Sustainable Practices'. Welcome, Jane! GUEST: Thanks for having me! I'm looking forward to our conversation. HOST: Great! Let's start by asking, what personal experiences led you to be so passionate about Biophilic Design and Sustainability? GUEST: I've always loved nature, and in my career, I saw how disconnected people were from the natural world in built environments. Biophilic Design bridges that gap. HOST: Fascinating. Could you share some current industry trends that relate to the course? GUEST: Absolutely. We're seeing more focus on wellness in design, and biophilic elements are being integrated into workspaces, healthcare facilities, and even cities. HOST: That sounds promising. What challenges have you faced in teaching or learning this subject? GUEST: The main challenge is helping professionals understand that biophilic design goes beyond just adding plants to a space. It requires a deep understanding of how nature impacts human wellbeing. HOST: That makes sense. Finally, what do you think the future holds for Biophilic Design and Sustainable Practices? GUEST: I believe we'll see more emphasis on biophilic design as a key strategy for promoting human health and ecological balance. It's a vital part of our future.
