IN MEMORIAM - RECOGNIZING A TRUE PIONEER
Yale University Professor Stephen Kellert and the father of Biophilic Design passed away in
December of last year after battling cancer. He was a strong believer in our ability to design
healthier living environments and pioneered the practical application of the Biophilia hypothesis
by establishing many of the principles or elements that contribute to our mental and physical well
being. In this issue of the LAM, and at CitiesAlive in Seattle in September, we pay tribute to his
legacy. At CitiesAlive we will have a special plenary session on his work, and explore the business
case and future of biophilic design. On Monday, September 18, we will also hold a biophilic design
workshop with Bill Browning, Principal Terrapin Bright Green, to explore how to maximize the
benefits of biophilic research and design as it pertains to green roofs and walls.
