Biophilic Design Academy

The Biophilic Design Academy (BDA), founded by Lianne Bongers, is the Dutch knowledge platform and community for professionals who want to give nature a natural place in our built environment. Through membership, (interior) architects, designers and other professionals gain access to scientific knowledge, inspiring practical examples, training, events and a valuable network of like-minded people.

BDA connects science, design and practice and shows how biophilic design contributes to healthier people, better buildings and a more sustainable world. Based on the belief that we ourselves are nature, BDA is building a growing movement in which sharing knowledge, collaboration and connection with nature are central.
