Talina to present about healthy homes with panel of industry experts at Architects Declare Event in Melbourne
Biophilic design is gaining a lot of attention in the industry - for good reasons!
Our director Talina is celebrated in the industry for her expertise in the design and delivery of homes that honour a biophilic design ethos. Biophilia is our deep connection with the natural world - because we are nature - and how this translates to nature-aligned architecture.
Talina was a coordinator at Australian Architects Declare during its incubation five years ago, leading some of the key strategic planning with regards to the direction of the movement. She loved the advocacy role, with a passionate group of architects leading change within the industry. She’s remained a big supporter of the evolution of the movement, and is honoured to be invited to speak at this upcoming event.
