Biophilic Design

Bullfrog Films • 1h 1m

Directed by Stephen R. Kellert & Bill Finnegan • Documentary • 2012 • 62 minutes

Come on a journey from our evolutionary past and the origins of architecture to the world's most celebrated buildings in a search for the architecture of life. Together, we will encounter buildings that connect people and nature—hospitals where patients heal faster, schools where children's test scores are higher, offices where workers are more productive, and communities where people know more of their neighbors and families thrive.

Biophilic Design points the way toward creating healthy and productive habitats for modern humans.
