INTERVIEW
LIVING BUILDING
CHALLENGE LEADER
AMANDA STURGEON
ON ILFI'S BIOPHILIC
DESIGN INITIATIVE
INTERVIEWED BY STEVEN PECK
Amanda Sturgeon, FAIA, is a driving force of the living building movement
in Cascadia, and throughout the world. As CEO of the International Living
Future Institute (ILFI), she has pushed the boundaries of biophilic design to
reconcile humanity's relationship with the natural world, and is now taking
on a new challenge: The Biophilic Design Initiative. Amanda will be one
of our keynote speakers at CitiesAlive in Seattle when we pay tribute to the
late Stephen Kellert and explore the future of biophilic design. She shares
with me how the new initiative came to be, its goals, and how important this
initiative will be to meet the Living Future Challenges.
SWP: Stephen Kellert introduced the first comprehensive
framework of biophilic design, what do you think about his
contribution?
AS: In my perspective, he really put biophilic design on the
map. He framed biophilic design in a comprehensive way and
brought people together who could accelerate its adoption. He
built on E.O. Wilson's work on biophilia and adapted it to the
built environment. He understood its ability to deeply connect
people and nature in the built environment.
SWP: Can you tell us more about the Biophilic Design Initiative and what your plans are to promote the biophilic design?

AS: The biophilic design Initiative was created by ILFI to bring
together renown experts on biophilic design so that there
could be collaboration and acceleration of the discipline. After
18 months of working together we are collaborating around
three areas; research, education and tools. We have developed
a webinar series, and have started research on 15 case studies
that will soon be published. A summit was held at the Living
Future unConference that explored how to accelerate the
adoption of biophilic design.
A new grant has been secured that will be accelerating the
work of the initiative over the next two years.
