Biophilic Design, The Architecture of Life – our May 14 JHS Multicultural Film Festival documentary presentation – discloses a design revolution that connects buildings to the natural world, buildings where people feel and perform better. Biophilic Design is an innovative way of designing the places where we live, work, and learn.
Taryn Rashel Mudge, our facilitator for the evening, is currently a design professional at SRG Partnership, a local architecture firm focusing on healthy and sustainable public buildings. She received a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from UTSA (2009) focusing on tectonic studies of natural and recycled building materials and a Masters of Architecture from Portland State University (2012) focusing on design and daylight analysis of the progressive modular classroom project known as Smart Academic Green Environment Classroom (SAGE). The SAGE classroom has been endorsed by Governor Kitzhaber as an Oregon Solution and was featured at Green Build in San Francisco last fall.
Join the JHS Annual Multicultural Film Festival team Tuesday, 6 PM, May 14th at the North Portland Neighborhood Library, 512 N. Killingsworth Street, to view Biophilic Design and see what you are missing when you overlook what nature has to offer. This presentation is informative, family friendly, and FREE.
