Never before has there been such an interest and urgent need to improve our physical and mental wellbeing, productivity and creativity as well as to reach net zero and mitigate climate change to create sustainable businesses and cities.

Join us for the first ever Biophilic Design Conference run by the Journal of Biophilic Design at the Barbican London on 12th November 2024.

Bridging the gap between research and practice – Explore the positive impact of Biophilic Design on the mind, body, environment and economy.

Keynote Speaker – TV presenter Oliver Heath

 “I’m delighted to be presenting the keynote speech at the Biophilic Design Conference, particularly at time when the natural world that we are so reliant on is under such threat. With a growing awareness of the need for deeper nature connections across all aspects of our lives and building sectors, there is so much to learn from our peers, be that evidence, practice, case studies and approaches. Join us to engage, contribute, and learn.”

Many other respected speakers in this field from NHS, Dept of Education, CEO of London Wildlife Trust, Maggie’s Care Centres, British Institute of Interior Design (BIID), Living Future Europe, Stop Ecocide International, Stride Treglown, Buro Happold, plus leading architects, landscape architects and designers, planners, futurists, city councils, ecologists, wellbeing experts and more.

Mathew Freeman, President of BIID (British Institute of Interior Design) “The Biophilic Design conference is an educational opportunity for those at the fore, to share new developments and inspire those who seek to utilise nature’s influence and prioritise health and wellbeing.”

Learn how we can use Biophilic Design in city and town planning, every workplace, school, hospital simply. How we retrofit Biophilic Design and aim to weave Biophilic Design into the very fabric of buildings and cities from the outset before ground is broken and cement mixed.

Plus after the lights go down, in the Barbican conservatory there will be the world Premiere of “The Green Book: The Biophilic Suite” composed and performed by acclaimed musician Javier Rodriguez, commissioned by us and inspired by the Barbican.
