Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

We spend 90% of our time indoors. Here’s how Biophilic Design can make that healthier.
Q: What scales do you see as most impactful for biophilic design, and how should practitioners navigate these scales?
Bowen argues that biophilic design should operate across scales—from interior environments to landscapes and city planning. She highlights water management, urban trees, and green infrastructure as high-impact areas, with policy tools and new urban paradigms (e.g., green zoning and legal personhood for nature) enabling broader adoption.
We spend 90% of our time indoors. Here’s how Biophilic Design can make that healthier.
Q: How can biophilic design move beyond aesthetics to truly impact people and communities?
She explains the importance of placing nature at the core of design through holistic site analysis (genius loci), community involvement, and measurable outcomes. By aligning design choices with human health data and ecosystem benefits, biophilic design becomes a regenerative strategy rather than decorative.
We spend 90% of our time indoors. Here’s how Biophilic Design can make that healthier.
Q: What sparked your interest in biophilic design, and how did your background shape your approach?
Alexandra describes growing up in Hawaii, moving to the mainland, and feeling a deep disconnection from nature, which motivated her to study environmental design. Her work blends architecture, design, and community engagement to bring nature back into everyday spaces, and she emphasizes accessibility and practical implementation for a wide audience.
How to Fast-track a Regenerative Future
Q: What kind of collaborations or investments have emerged from The Blue Earth Summit that you've found inspiring?
He cites the summit as a converging space where NGOs, private sector, and government come together to fund and scale nature-based solutions, with emphasis on the 1% for the planet partnership and cross-border exposure to investors, especially in the US, to drive faster implementation.
How to Fast-track a Regenerative Future
Q: Would you tell us a little bit about yourself and what your background is and what the Blue Earth Summit is for somebody that might not know?
Will Hayler describes himself as an entrepreneur with a focus on outdoor living, sustainability, and media ventures, and explains that Blue Earth Summit evolved over nearly a decade to simplify complexity and connect nature with business through investment and collaboration.
