Human-Centered Design Discussion with a Legend of Sustainability and Daylighting – Lisa Heschong - Ep. 24
Lisa Heschong is a legend in the world of sustainable and human-centered design. She has been promoting the value of daylighting for more than 40 years and developed the now universally accepted “Spatial Daylight Autonomy” methodology. In this amazing episode, Lisa talks about her early years as one of the lone voices promoting human-centered design as well as energy efficiency. She talks about the latest research related to the value of views and the potential correlation between the myopia epidemic and a shortage of natural light in schools and buildings occupied by children. Every architect and building owner should listen to this episode!
