Why you need nature in your daily life
If we understand our connection with nature, why have we built ourselves away from it? In the second episode of ‘Why on earth’, we uncover how our connection to the nature is rooted in our evolution, and why you may need more of it, for your benefit and the planet.
“We design zoos for animals better than we design buildings for people,” a quote by pioneer in the field of biophilic Judith Heerwagen. A view on architecture and design that stops many people in their tracks.
With the expertise of Judith Heerwagen, today a researcher and faculty member at the University of Washington, we discover the roots of biophilic design and the connection between humans and nature. In this episode we shed new light on biophilic design and answer important questions like “Why is the connection with nature critical for your wellbeing?”, “Why is biophilic design not a standard practice in design?”, “How much nature do we require?” and “Why should we build habitats instead of buildings?”.

The Great Pause: A Reflection on Purpose
Viktor Frankl once said “Between stimulus and response, there is space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies growth”. Never in recent history have we had such an opportunity to pause and question our purpose. In the first episode of “Why on Earth” we explore Dirk Wynants’ story of finding his ‘why’ and sticking to it, even when the world stands to question it.
