The office environment can be a cold, unfeeling place. But as Dayton Rush, a landscape architect at Cushing Terrell, explains, using the concept of ecological design thinking allows us to see the connection between our natural and built environments. You offer workers access to good sunlight, a view of nature, and other elements that tie the outside in, which in turn inspires them and improves their ability to create and collaborate.

Ecological Design Thinking with Dayton Rush

On Good, Thoughtful Hosts, Sarah Steimer explores the built environment on the notion that a designer’s role is to anticipate the needs of their guests. Join us to dig into the ways in which the built world can influence people’s feelings and experiences — and how. Beyond the traditional requisites of form and function, hear firsthand from architects, engineers, planners, and more on how they imbue designs with health, well-being, user experience, and other modern priorities. Interviews and discussions will include project case studies, profiles of designers, trend reports, and much, much more.
