Out is the New In – Designing Workspaces that Foster Natural Connection

Every year on April 22, Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement. To celebrate it this year, IIDA Professional Development invites you to join the “Out is the New In: Designing Workspaces that foster Natural Connection”. The human body was made for connection - connection to mother nature and all of the health-infusing, mood-boosting benefits she has to offer. The reality is that people spend most of their waking hours indoors, whether in the office, working from home or anywhere in between. It is becoming incredibly important to design workspaces that promote happiness, health, and productivity, through the purposeful infusion of biophilic design. This is particularly important now, as we re-imagine what the workplace will look like going forward. This CEU educates participants on why people need a strong connection to nature, the benefits of making these connections through purposeful design, and the tools architects and designers can use to bring the indoors out and the outdoors in in both practical and inspirational ways in the future.
