Designing Libraries: Learning from Biophilia
Join Principals Janette Blackburn, FAIA, LEED AP, and Kelly Karpinsky, AIA, LEED AP, at the Designing Libraries Conference.
Biophilic design principles can enhance library environments of all types and sizes. How does a space based strategy focused on holistic wellbeing help manage stress and promote positive connections in a library environment? Join Janette for an exploration through case studies for Wellesley College’s Clapp Library; Harvard Medical School’s Countway Library; and the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay’s Cofrin Technology and Education Center.
Later, join Kelly for her Lightening Talk, “Tower of Terror: Renovating Aging Library Towers,” where she shares strategies for approaching this design challenge.
