Illusions of Nature
in Architecture
Learn how integrating illusions of nature into architecture can infuse the healing, comforting and refreshing properties of nature into the built environment.
In this course we will learn about illusions — what they are, how they result from our processes of knowing, and how they benefit us. We will look at examples of common illusions and illusions found in historical and contemporary architecture. We'll also explore the important connection between human beings and nature, and explore the benefits of using illusions of nature in healthcare, and other types of, architecture. Finally, we'll look at the sky as a universal natural experience and examine some of the important factors to consider when creating and installing an illusory sky. |

Sustainability, Biophilia,
and Illusions of Nature
Learn how biophilic sustainable design incorporates illusions of nature to enliven our inherent biophilia - our propensity to enjoy, value, and care for nature.
In this course we address sustainability from the perspective of the root issue — our relationship with nature. We look at our inherent attraction to nature, identified as biophilia, and explore the many ways that our lives are interdependently related to nature. We also explore the many benefits that nature provides, especially the recently revealed health benefits of nature. And, we'll look at the emerging trend towards biophilic design that integrates nature and qualities of nature into architecture. Finally, we'll look at the value of illusions of nature as a practical way to bring nature's benefits to enclosed interiors. |
