VietNamNet Bridge - “Biophilic Design – The Architecture of Life” by Dr. Stephen R. Kellert will be screened in Hanoi, HCM City and Da Nang this May. 

The film is based on the result of Dr. Stephen R. Kellert’s research. Hevisits the building for filming and interviews architects and people living there. 

The audience will visit many types of buildings from houses, schools, hospitals, offices to residential areas… and witness the advantage of associating architects with nature.

“Biophilic Design – The Architecture of Life” is not a film about a school of architecture, but a convincing analysis that people cannot live without nature.

Biophilic Design is an innovative way of designing the places where we live, work, and learn. We need nature in a deep and fundamental fashion, but we have often designed our cities and suburbs in ways that both degrade the environment and alienate us from nature. 

The recent trend in green architecture has decreased the environmental impact of the built environment, but it has accomplished little in the way of reconnecting us to the natural world, the missing piece in the puzzle of sustainable development. 

Come on a journey from our evolutionary past and the origins of architecture to the world’s most celebrated buildings in a search for the architecture of life. 

Together, we will encounter buildings that connect people and nature - hospitals where patients heal faster, schools where children’s test scores are higher, offices where workers are more productive, and communities where people know more of their neighbors and families thrive. 

Biophilic Design points the way toward creating healthy and productive habitats for modern humans.

The film will be screened with Vietnamese subtitles.
