With our fragile planet facing huge environmental threats right now, there is no better time to question our relationship with the natural world – how we can live more in harmony with our environment and invite the beauty of nature into our own lives, physically and spiritually.
Rob Delius of Stride Treglown will be exploring this theme, sharing examples of what biophilia means to him personally, showing how nature-connectedness features in his and practice’s work, and challenging us to imagine what a radical, enticing and urgently-needed, biodiversity-rich future might look like. He will also be talking through Stride Treglown’s ‘Tree of Dreams’ proposal for the Biophilic Bath exhibition, which he is hoping will become a reality in 2025
