Episode 82: Susan Chung, Biophilic Design Meets Graphic Narrative
During the past month, we’ve been able to learn about biophilic design and how graphic narratives can be used as effective learning tools.
My conversations with biophilic designer Sonja Bochart and illustrator Michi Mathias made me reflect on the conversation I had with Susan Chung in December 2019.
Susan is an illustrator with the Co-Design Group which is an association of architects, designers, and researchers in Canada. The Co-Design Group doesn’t design buildings, they design how life is lived in and around public spaces.
If you appreciate biophilic design and value the power of graphic narratives, you’ll want to listen to this conversation.
I hope you enjoy it.
