Biophilic Design Conference
As interior designers, we’ve long understood the emotional power of space — how light, texture, and materiality shape how people feel and function. But now, the conversation is shifting from "aesthetic harmony" to "ecological harmony". The "2025 Biophilic Design Conference", taking place beside the Houses of Parliament in London, is set to be one of the most important gatherings yet for designers who care about people, place, and planet.
This year’s theme — "Policy. Place. Planet" — explores how Biophilic Design can shape healthier, more sustainable cities and interiors. With sessions spanning workplaces, education, healthcare, and the home, the conference promises to bridge research and real-world design practice, showing how nature-connected thinking is being woven into the fabric of the built environment.
For BIID members, the event holds special significance: "winners and shortlisters of the Anna Whiteread Award” will take to the stage to share their insights on designing for wellbeing, material integrity, and sensory connection. Their talks will reveal how Biophilic principles can elevate both the creative process and client outcomes — while supporting broader policy change in how we design, retrofit, and build.
Alongside a line-up of global speakers, immersive experiences, and nine hours of networking, this is a unique opportunity to connect with architects, policymakers, and sustainability leaders shaping the future of design.
If you believe design should heal, restore, and reconnect — this is your conference. Be part of the movement that’s redefining the interior landscape for all our tomorrows.
