What is biophilic design, and why do you need it in your office? via Fast Company

The image depicts a modern office space with a large, dark wooden table at the center, surrounded by several black office chairs. The room is well-lit with natural light streaming in through a large window with a grid pattern, revealing lush greenery outside. The walls are painted white, and the floor is a light gray concrete. Several potted plants are placed around the room, adding a touch of greenery and life. The table is cluttered with office supplies, including a laptop, books, and papers. The image is framed with a decorative border featuring stylized leaves in pastel colors, including shades of green, blue, and pink.</p></p> <p><p>Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

The field of biophilic design aims to create spaces that optimize productivity and well-being. In the roughly 300,000 years humans have been on Earth, offices have only really been around the past few hundred years. Biophilic architecture is based on the concept that humans evolved in natural environments, and because of this, we feel the best when these factors are mimicked. Incorporation or mimicry of the natural world into our built spaces can greatly improve peoples’ health, happiness, and productivity.

The image depicts a natural landscape with a clear blue sky. In the foreground, there is a vibrant display of yellow flowers, likely a type of wildflower, covering the ground. These flowers are interspersed with green foliage, including some succulent plants with thick, fleshy leaves. A prominent agave plant with a tall, reddish stalk and yellow flowers stands out in the center-right of the image. The background features a sandy hillside with sparse vegetation, including trees with green leaves. The sunlight casts shadows on the hillside, highlighting the textures of the soil and the plants. The overall scene suggests a dry, possibly arid environment, typical of a desert or semi-desert region.</p> <p>Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

The image depicts a botanical illustration of a flowering plant with a dark background. The plant is identified as Panaverium Marilinum, commonly known as the Sea Daffodil. The illustration features a cluster of white, elongated petals with a delicate, curving structure, resembling a spiders web. The petals are arranged in a spiral pattern, with some extending outward and others curling inward. The stamens, visible at the tips of the petals, are yellow with pinkish-red anthers. The plant has broad, green leaves with a slightly glossy texture, positioned at the base of the flower. The illustration is detailed, with shading and highlights that give depth to the petals and leaves. The name of the plant is written in cursive script at the bottom right corner, with the scientific name above it. The overall composition is centered, with the plant occupying the majority of the space, creating a striking visual impact against the black background.</p></p> <p><p>Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

At age 72, Mary Delany (1700-1788) devoted herself to her art practice, taking up a form of decoupage to create an exquisite collection of botanical collages from dyed and cut paper. She interpreted many of the delicate specimens she encountered in Buckinghamshire while staying with her friend, the Duchess of Portland, through layered pieces on black backdrops. From the wispy clover-like leaves of an oxalis plant to the wildly splayed petals of the daffodil, the realistic works are both stunning for their beauty and faithfulness to the original lifeforms.

Why Your Seeds Aren’t Sprouting

Why Your Seeds Aren't Sprouting via Lifehacker [Shared]

While our elementary school science classes may have taught us the basics about seeds and how to plant them, if you’ve gotten into gardening as an adult, you’ve probably figured out that there’s plenty more to learn. And unfortunately, growing a plant isn’t necessarily as simple as putting a few seeds in dirt and adding water and sunlight.

For example, even if you seemingly do everything right, your seeds may not sprout. As it turns out, seeds are more fickle than many people realize. Here are some of the reasons why yours aren’t sprouting.
