RESEARCH PROFILE
GREEN DESIGN GURU BILL BROWNING
ON BIOPHILIC DESIGN PRACTICE
INTERVIEW BY STEVEN PECK
Bill Browning's composure is that of a man who thinks
deeply and acts with a calmness and deliberateness that
speaks volumes about his experience and confidence.
As the Founding Partner of Terrapin Bright Green, he
now works with Fortune 500 companies, non-profits,
foreign governments and universities to help them
craft and implement policies that contribute to social,
economic and ecological sustainability. In the early 1990s
he founded the Green Development Services arm of
the Rocky Mountain Institute and worked on planning,
renovations and high profile demonstration projects for
firms like Walmart, Disney Hong Kong, Lucas Films
and the Sydney Olympic Village. Bill was a founding
member of the USGBC Board of Directors and has
served on many other non-profit boards and institutes.

S
ince founding Terrapin
Bright Green, Bill has directed much of his team's
attention on research into
the science of Biophilia as well
as the development and application of practical approaches
to its implementation. They
have developed a set of 14
patterns that can help guide
biophilic design (see overleaf).
I caught up with Bill in his
Washington, D.C. office to
ask him some pointed questions about biophilic design,
living architecture and our
upcoming workshop and plenary session on the subject of
biophilic design at CitiesAlive
in Seattle.
SWP: Hi Bill. Thanks for the
interview. Biophilic design
research and practice has been
called an exercise in "proving
things we already know to be
true?", what does this mean?
