The River of Life – Orientate Earth, The Built Environment and Sustainable Workplace

We are excited to share a fascinating video from the Journal of Biophilic Design, a resource that we at Green Plants for Green Buildings greatly value.

“The River of Life: Orientate, Earth Construction, and Sustainability” is a must-watch for anyone interested in learning more about the role of nature in the built environment. Our team at GPGB strongly believes in the importance of biophilic design and sustainable construction practices that prioritize plant life and the natural world.

We hope you’ll take the time to watch and learn, and please share with others who may be interested in promoting the importance of biophilic design. Together, we can create a healthier, more sustainable future for our planet.

Biophilic Gallery

Biophilic designs are taking full effect! More designers and architects are shifting to a more natural environment for offices. In Gdynia, Nordea is one of the greenest offices that has natural elements throughout the office. This creates a work space that is full of positivity, increases creativity, and reduces stress.
