Integrating biophilic elements into design is crucial for today’s built environments, especially considering the pandemic's emphasis on occupant well-being. Beyond trends like natural lighting and materials, incorporating art plays a vital role in fostering positive human experiences in offices, healthcare facilities, schools and retail spaces.

This presentation explores how art can enhance health, wellness and productivity, and provides specific guidelines and requirements for specifying artwork, photography and imagery for interior finish products. By understanding these requirements, specifiers will be better equipped to select and implement art effectively, ensuring it aligns with design goals and promotes occupant well-being.
