Architecture and Health recognizes the built environment and health
as inextricable encouraging a new mind-set for the profession. Over
40 international award-winning projects are included to explore
innovative design principles linked to health outcomes. The book is
organized into three interdependent health domains-individual,
community, and global-in which each case study proposes
context-specific architectural responses. Case studies include
children's hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, elderly housing,
mental health facilities, cancer support centers, clinics, healthy
communities, healthcare campuses, wellness centers, healing
gardens, commercial offices, infrastructure for developing
countries, sustainable design, and more. Representing the United
States, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia, each author brings a
new perspective to health and its related architectural response.
This book brings a timely focus to a subject matter commonly
constricted by normative building practices and transforms the
dialogue into one of creativity and innovation. With over 200 color
images, this book is an essential read for architects, designers,
and students to explore and analyze designed environments that
promote health and well-being.
