In the words of Kate Mooney, biophilic design faces the risk of losing its distinctive appeal. Similar to the terms ‘sustainability’ and ‘wellness’ that preceded it, she warns that biophilic design has been co-opted, diluted, and overused to the point of losing its essence. However, at its core, biophilic design remains a vital and intricate philosophy, one that extends far beyond simply adding a green wall in the lobby or placing a potted fern in every guest suite. Explore what OCCA Founder and Principal Kate identifies as the essential elements of a 'genuine biophilic experience', and which hotels are doing it best, here: https://brnw.ch/21wRGPD
