Keynote presentation: Improving wellbeing and development with Biophilic Design

In the morning, attendees with hear from Mark Brown, consultant for TG Escapes.

With UK society facing a mental health crisis it is now more important than ever to support the well-being of children and their teachers. Incorporating nature-inspired (biophilic) design elements into nursery buildings is one way to help. Many research studies have shown how the use of natural materials, the provision of natural light, ease of access to the outdoors and the incorporation of nature-inspired shapes, patterns and images can improve the built environment.
Mark will explain the principles of biophilic design and show that they can easily be incorporated into new buildings and added to existing spaces. We will look at the impact of biophilia on development and educational outcomes and general well-being using independent research and case studies including a look at the DfE pathfinder biophilic school project currently underway.

If you are an owner, director or senior management of a nursery/nursery group and are interested in attending or want more information, please contact Caroline Bowern at [email protected]
