Synopsis
1st Speaker
Mr Tan Szue Hann (Chair of Sustainability Committee)
The main functional goal of the new NUS School of Design & Environment (SDE) building is energy efficiency and it will be served as the hub for integrating education from design to implementation and fostering industry and international collaborations through test-bedding and developing relevant green building technology.
2nd Speaker
Mr Kuan Chee Yung (Advisor of Sustainability Committee)
Biophilic design is the concept of incorporating nature with our built environment for the well-being of society. It is one of the hottest design trends presently, with people being excited to live and work in these spaces, while consultants are given an opportunity to integrate their creativity and passion with nature. At the same time, there is a significant amount of misinformation floating around about the term. Biophilic design is also often confused with “green” or “eco-conscious” design.
The speaker will provide some clarity: what ‘biophilic design’ is (and isn’t), its roots as well as the reasons why its popularity has surged in recent years.
