A Panel Discussion with Bjarke Ingels Group, Leo A. Daly, Arlington Public Schools, Silman, and Gilbane
Join the AIA Northern Virginia Committee on Architecture for Education (CAE) and AIA Virginia at noon on Friday, March 5, 2021 for a virtual tour and panel discussion about the new Heights Building, an Arlington Public School (APS) facility in Northern Virginia.
The structural masterpiece is inspired by the values and educational mission of APS and serves as a model example for innovative solutions to school design. Green terraces at each floor become an extension of the classrooms, creating an indoor-outdoor learning landscape for both students and teachers — an educational oasis rather than a traditional school setting, addressing the academic needs of the school’s program while forming a vertical community within its dense urban context.

The panel discussion features speakers from Bjarke Ingels Group, Leo A. Daly, Arlington Public Schools, Silman, and Gilbane.

Join us as we investigate our instinctive attraction and connection to nature, identified as Biophilia, as attendees explore the ways that our lives are dependently and beneficially intertwined with nature. Review research documenting the positive outcomes of natural environments on human health and explore the 14 patterns of Biophilic Design, including how integrating nature’s attributes into architecture enlivens biophilic engagement. Examine optical illusions, bi-sensory illusions of nature, and research on sky illusions in relation to architectural design. Lastly, explore the framework, mechanics, and outcomes for health of generating Cognitive Biophilia.
Presented by Rebecca Clemens of Sky Factory.
