This concise volume analyzes the potential for the workplace
environment-where so many people spend so much of their day-to
improve workers' capacity for health and wellness. It pinpoints the
link between sedentary lifestyles and poor health, and explores the
role of office spatial design in encouraging physical activity to
promote physical activity, health and prevent disease. The featured
research study tracks workers' movement in a variety of office
layouts, addressing possible ways movement-friendly design can
co-exist with wireless communication, paperless offices, and new
corporate concepts of productivity. From these findings, the
author's conclusions extend public health concepts to recognize
that influencing population-wide levels of activity through office
architectural design alone may be possible. This SpringerBrief is
comprised of chapters on : Physical activity and disease: Theory
and practice Space-use and the history of the office building
Identifying factors of the office architectural design that
influence movement, Interdisciplinary research methods in studying
worker physical activity, decision-making and office design
characteristics The KINESIS model for simulating physical activity
in office environments The questions and potential for solutions in
Workplace Environmental Design in Architecture for Public Health
will interest and inform researchers in interdisciplinary topics of
public health and architecture as well as graduate and
post-graduate students, architects, economists, managers,
businesses as well as health-conscious readers.
