The image features a lush green vine with vibrant purple flowers. The vine is densely covered with oval-shaped leaves, some of which are a bright green, while others have a yellowish tint, indicating varying stages of growth or sunlight exposure. The flowers are prominent, with five petals each, displaying a delicate pattern of darker purple veins. They hang from the vine, adding a soft, cascading effect. The background is darker, suggesting a shaded area, with some twigs and branches visible, creating a natural, organic feel. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the texture and color of the leaves and flowers, making the scene appear vibrant and lively.</p> <p>Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

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.

Master of Claude de France’s Book of Flower Studies (ca. 1510–1515) via The Public Domain Review

The image features a detailed illustration of a blue dragonfly perched on a green stem of a flower. The dragonfly has a long, slender body with a blue and green coloration, and its wings are transparent with a delicate pattern. The flower has white petals with a red edge and a yellow center, resembling a daisy. There are three flowers in total, with one fully bloomed, one partially bloomed, and one in bud form. The background is a plain, off-white color, which contrasts with the vibrant colors of the dragonfly and flowers. The illustration is done in a style that suggests it could be from a natural history book or a botanical illustration, with careful attention to the details of the insects and plants.

Despite being full of blooms, this book of floral illustrations marks an autumn in aesthetic history: it was composed during “‘the last flowering’ of northern European manuscript illumination in the medieval tradition”, write curators at the MET. Created in the workshop of the Master of Claude de France, one of the most renowned ateliers in Tours during the early sixteenth century, it takes the form of a model book — and indeed several subsequent commissions linked to Queen Claude drew inspiration from this work. Yet its relative lack of wear and tear has led historians like Jörn Günther to wonder if the manuscript was primarily intended by the Master of Claude de France to be a collection of botanical art in its own right. Having trained with Jean Bourdichon and possibly Jean Poyer, the Master’s true identity remains anonymous in art history, but he and his workshop have been credited with books of hours and books of prayers — generally employing extremely small formats, which fit comfortably into the palm of a hand.
