The term “biophilia,” popularized by American biologist and author Edward O. Wilson, describes his theory that humans have evolved as a species deeply intertwined with the intricacies of the natural world. Wilson’s hypothesis invites deep reflection and poses important questions for audiences to consider in our hyper-accelerated digital and urban-centric world. Organized by Darrin Alfred, Curator of Architecture and Design at the Denver Art Museum, Biophilia: Nature Reimagined explores the transformative role that contemporary architects, artists, and designers play in reexamining and reanimating our intrinsic bond with nature.
Biophilia: Nature Reimagined brings together more than eighty imaginative works by more than thirty international participants that collectively highlight the transformative power of nature. Though not substitutes for nature-based experiences, these works invite us to slow down and pay closer attention, prompting a deeper awareness of the natural world and the sense of wonder it evokes.
