Transform Your Home with Biophilic Design, Module 1, free

Look again at the room you avoid. Notice how little of it comes from outside.

Daylight, a view, wood, stone, something growing. After Module 1 you start to see what your room has and what it is missing.

What Module 1 covers

What biophilic design is: an approach to the home that brings natural light, natural materials and living things back into the rooms you use.

Why it matters: the idea, from the biologist Edward O. Wilson, that people are drawn to daylight, water and plants because we evolved among them.

The five principles the course builds on, and simple, affordable ways to begin, such as opening the blinds or a few potted plants on a windowsill.

Three video lessons, plus the Module 1 workbook with a room-by-room audit of your home.

Start with your own rooms

The Module 1 workbook then turns to the rooms you live in: how much daylight reaches them, what you see from the window, what they are made of.

You already know what your home needs; biophilic design is how you learn to listen to it.
