Geophilia is architecture that uses ancient wisdom

It's a holistic approach to design, blending pre-modern symbols, forms and geometry to create beautifully calming living environments.

Until a few weeks before recording this conversation, I hadn't heard of geophilia, so I invited Greek architect Lydia de León to explain it to me.

Geophilia refers to a love or strong connection people feel towards nature and their surroundings. Lydia calls her firm's work 'holistic architecture' as it considers everything including terrain, climate, history and—most fascinatingly—personal health.
