Best of Greenbuild: The Missing E in LEED - Why Emotion Is the Next Frontier in Sustainable Architecture, September 18, Webinar and Jacksonville, FL
Event Description
In this interactive session, the group is engaged with preference tests and drawing exercises to introduce key concepts in cognitive science that help attendees better grasp how buildings influence human emotion, behavior, overall health and well-being. The group will learn how these studies can inform design decisions to create emotional connections between occupants and nature.
Objectives
Learn how new evidence of ‘unconscious’ processing and natural visual tendencies, such as avoiding blank facades and looking for other people, affect the perception and performance of green buildings.
Understand why empathy and emotion are the criteria for the next frontier of sustainable architecture, and explain concrete ways in which data from eye tracking, EEG, and biometrics can be harnessed as part of a building's design process.
List tools and techniques designers can use to increase ‘empathetic’ conditions in the built environment, improving public health and well-being and reducing stress and anxiety through design.
Practice strategies to increase the integration of natural elements and ‘attachment patterns’ in design, promoting human health and happiness.
