ON THE MENU: “Biophilic Illusions” 1 AIA LU|HSW|AXP, IDCEC, GBCI

12:00 pm–1:00 pm

Virtual presentation.
Please RSVP to register.

Presented by Sky Factory

In this course, we explore our inherent connection and attraction to nature, identified as The Biophilia Hypothesis, and the ways that our lives are dependently and beneficially intertwined with nature.

We look at the growing trend towards Biophilic Design, and how it can integrate therapeutic attributes of nature into interiors and thereby enliven Biophilia’s restorative properties.

In particular optical illusions, illusions of nature, and illusory skies are examined in relationship to architectural design and Biophilic Design. We also delve into the purpose, creation, and applications of multisensory illusions of nature.

Learn how biophilic illusions can be integrated with architecture to infuse the healing, comforting, and refreshing properties of nature into the built environment.

ON THE MENU: “EN-ROADS Climate Simulator” 1 AIA LU|HSW|AXP

12:00 pm–1:00 pm

Virtual presentation.
Please RSVP below to register. Link coming soon.

Presented by the Brooklyn and Manhattan Chapters of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby.

The En-ROADS Climate Workshop helps build support for strategies to address climate change via interactive testing of the cutting-edge simulation model En-ROADS, created by Climate Interactive and MIT Sloan.

In the workshop, participants propose climate solutions such as energy efficiency, carbon pricing, fossil fuel taxes, reducing deforestation, and carbon dioxide removal. The facilitator then tests these approaches using En-ROADS so that participants can see the impact on global temperature and other factors.

Join us to experience what it’s like to create your own climate future using grounded conversations; the resulting experience is hopeful, scientifically-grounded, action-oriented, and eye-opening.
