Sonja Bochart, Biophilic Design

Today we reflect on the green spaces where we live. Beyond parks and gardens, we sometimes find green spaces inside buildings, between buildings, on tops of buildings, in parking lots, and in places, we may not expect to find them. When we do find them, we may not recognize them as green spaces, yet we experience the restful changes in mood these spaces were designed to create. Today we get to learn from Sonja Bochart, LEED-accredited independent professional whose expertise is in interior design, health and wellness, and regenerative design.
