Overview
University College London (UCL) offers the Nature and Healthcare Design programme.
Key facts
- Even though nature and health are interlinked, in design practice they often end up in different silos. This short course aims to connect them by bringing together academics and practitioners.
- You'll learn how biophilic design can influence buildings for health and healthcare delivery, and about the challenges and opportunities for healthcare facility designers.
- Biomimicry has been hailed as a powerful creative and intellectual tool which catalyses innovation by using ‘natural’ intelligence. From engineers to architects, from inventors to urbanists, designers and thinkers from all fields have been inspired by the biological world since time immemorial.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- presentation by Steven Ware on how biomimicry has been employed by designers, and how we might come to a useful definition of biomimicry in light of today’s challenges and practices
- visit to the bio-integrated design lab at UCL Here East
- workshop on biomimicry, where you'll work in small groups to explore a biophilic subject of your choice
- presentation by Dr Eleni Tracada on biourbanism and patterns of human-centred design for healthy environments in resilient future cities
