Redesigning Calm: Designing Nature-Inspired Spaces
Redesigning Calm invites members of the Harvard community to explore how our surroundings shape mental and physical well-being. Drawing inspiration from organic and landscape architecture that harmonize natural light, greenery, and spatial flow, alongside modern biophilic design, this hands-on workshop encourages participants to reimagine familiar built environment, such as campus study or personal spaces, through a restorative lens. Using sensory observation, art materials, and natural elements, participants will creatively redesign spaces to help ease stress and anxiety, promote calm, and restore focus.
This well-being workshop will be led by Center Student Engagement Committee member Olivia Song, MPH ’27. Pizza (and plants!) will be provided.
