Bill Browning
The Sally Henderson Lecture on Green Design is an annual event created to honor the memory of NYSID faculty member, Sally Henderson, who developed the College’s first course in green design.
Biophilic design brings beneficial experiences of nature into our buildings. We will explore how the physiological and psychological responses to biophilia support well-being. The presentation will feature design case studies from the forthcoming Royal Institute of British Architects' book, Nature Inside.
