Mimicking Nature

It’s interesting about design choices that are very calming and why they might make us feel that way.

Maybe having a commanding view of the surroundings releases endorphins because it provides an advantage for hunting prey.

Maybe “warm white” light is more calming indoors because it resembles fire in a cave.

Same with living walls and the chance that we’re close to a food source. Or the sound of rushing water and having access to drinking.

While we make discoveries about far away places or the microscopic, the most groundbreaking and world changing discoveries are going to come from understanding even better how we tick.
