“The seminar was composed largely of generalities - reiteration of common themes we are all aware of. e.g. "nature" is good, we should learn from "nature", and include "nature" in our designs. The presentation would have benefitted from many more specific examples of the application of the concepts presented in actual architectural projects. Where photos were presented of actual projects there was little background information about the project or how it was accomplished. The presenter gave very little quantitative information. The presenter used terms not in common usage without defining them, e.g "fractals" and their "D value" and referred many times to the WELL building standard without ever describing its protocols, who sponsors it, or its level of acceptance in the industry.”

“This course was a great overview of the importance of bringing nature in the form of visual and actual access into environments, as well as how to utilize natural elements in the design of spaces to create welcoming environments.”

“I thought it was a great introduction and overview of the subject. Again, i have worked with the concept of Biophilia in design for seniors, but found many new insights and relationships of the concepts to broader design strategies to be helpful. the presenter was great.”

“I think the intent of this course is great, and the explanation of why people need to be more connected to nature is thorough, but the examples of the translation into how architects and designers can accomplish this goal need to be more varied. I saw a lot of green walls and water features. The lighting examples are tough to show in a still shot, and would be more meaningful if animated to show the designed changes throughout the day.”
