The Architectural Doctor: An Rx for Health & Wellness in Buildings

The fields of Architecture and Medicine have changed quite a bit in the past fifty years, and while there have been many beneficial developments in each of these very large fields, there are still gaps relative to health in the built environment.

As the topics of Health in Architecture continues to emerge and develop, the role of an Architectural Doctor is essential as both a liaison to help interconnect these main fields, as well as to be a resource to the Architecture and Medical professionals in bridging these gaps.

If you pause and ponder how our built environment impacts human health and well-being, and not just the impact of physical materials, yet how spaces and places impact our mental and emotional health, there becomes a large field of view to analyze, evaluate and ponder in terms of the wholeness of being a human being based on health and wellness.
