Many architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright and Green \u0026 Green, have used cedar in creating some of the most awarded and enduring designs. But over the past 50 years the design requirements for fire resistive construction have had numerous changes. These changes require collaboration between architects, manufacturers and builders.

However, few designers systematically incorporate it into their plans. Designers tend to assume that biophilic design is expensive or high maintenance, reserved for only high-end projects. Or assume that bringing nature inside is complicated and requires too much customization or cost. In this one-hour course, we\u2019ll address the assumptions that hold back an effort to scale biophilic design and expand access to these life-changing and sustaining benefits. We\u2019ll introduce a simulated-wood product that mimics nature and elicits that positive human response.
