The PREMIUM team I joined worked for Arie Voorburg (Arcadis Innovation & Business Development) who seeks to implement biophilic design thinking in the business development team.Our task was to identify environmental stress factors in urban/spatial/architectural design and to analyze the impact they have on our mental plus physical well-being.From this, we studied how the concept of biophilia* could have a positive influence on people if it were implemented in urban design.- Conduct a research study, supported by scientific evidence and practical examples of positive and negative environmental factors- Find barriers or stimulus for introducing new biophilic design principles- Give advice for follow up* The Biophilia Hypothesis suggests that humans possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life. (Kellert, S. R., & Wilson, E. O. (Eds.). (1993). The biophilia hypothesis.)

In my free time I am a horse-riding instructor. I realized that I love teaching as much as I love horses. Teaching brought me the ability to better communicate and this to different audiences (children, teens and adults). Since horses are very sensible animals, I learned to easily spot my students mistakes and to make sure the solution I bring is clearly understood by my student but also his/her horse. I understand the importance of debriefing over a problematic situation and making sure everybody sees the issue in the same way in order to find a solution. I’m aware of how different surroundings impact the communication I have with my pupils. Every week I gain insight on how to keep students focused and motivated.
