Ep. 156: Clever Extra - Creating Happier Places with Biophilic Design

<p>On this Clever Extra, Amy Devers sits down with Kari Pei, Interface VP of Global Product Design; David Oakey, founder of David Oakey Designs; and Bill Browning, founding partner of Terrapin Bright Green and co-author of <em>Nature Inside: A Biophilic Design Guide. </em>Together, they unpack the science, practical applications, and ROI of creating happier places with biophilic design. They dive into how diversity can inspire fabric patterns, how “evidence-based design” can improve cardiac patients' health, and the ‘psychoacoustics’ of moving water. Kari, David, and Bill discuss their favorite patterns, the power of biophilic design to create a better world, and how design and technology can continue to draw from the world around us to create happier places.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://www.cleverpodcast.com/blog/ep-156-Creating-Happier-Places-with-Biophilic-Design" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Images, links and more!</a></p><p><br></p><p>Many thanks to this episode’s sponsors:</p><p><br></p><p>Interface, Inc. is a global flooring company specializing in carbon-neutral carpet tile and resilient flooring, including luxury vinyl tile (LVT), vinyl sheet, and nora® rubber flooring.
