"This provocative book is a significant new contribution to the literature of architectural humanism. It brilliantly demonstrates how our psychological well-being is far more profoundly dependent upon our architectural environment than is generally acknowledged. Clifford B. Moller, expert in architectural research and design, is uniquely aware of the key concepts of our time, not only in the art of creating the spaces in which we live but also in sociology and psychiatry. He is thus able to explore the sources of emotional health and emotional disorders and to show these psychological processes are constantly shaped by man's interactions with the world he makes. In illuminating this reciprocal relationship, Architectural Environment and Our Mental Health establishes a basic re-definition of the meaning of architecture, and shows how the relief of the social ills that increasingly beset out cities lies in a clarified appreciation of this dynamic relationship. Mr. Moller's thoughtful grasp of the many complex problems involved, and his wide range of knowledge in the several related fields, enable him to distill the pertinent ideas of such diverse authorities as Robert Coles, John Dewey, Erich Fromm, Lawrence Kubie, Lewis Mumford, Bruno Zevi, etc. A controversial aspect of this book is its recommendation of an "anti-form" emphasis in design - an inevitable extension of its main argument. The author shows how preoccupation with form for its own sake can only imperil our achievement of the humanistic goals we seek to realize in reshaping our urban environment." --

How can we achieve and promote well-being? Drawing on examples from the arts, humanities and design, this book brings together work from a wide range of areas to reveal the unique ways in which different disciplines approach the universal goal of supporting well-being. Pathways to Well-Being in Design recognises that the distinction between academics and practitioners often becomes blurred, where, when working together, a fusion of thoughts and ideas takes place and provides a powerful platform for dialogue. Providing new insights into the approaches and issues associated with promoting well-being, the book's multi-disciplinary coverage invites readers to consider these ideas within the framework of their own work. The book's 12 chapters are authored by academics who are involved in practice or are working with practitioners and features real world case studies which cover a range of situations, circumstances, environments, and social groups. Pathways to Well-Being in Design responds to those wishing to enquire further about well-being, taking the reader through different circumstances to consider approaches, discussing practice and theory, real world and virtual world considerations. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand well-being, including students and professionals in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, design and health sciences.

Programming for Health and Wellbeing in Architecture presents a new approach to architectural programming that includes sustainability, neuroscience and human factors. This volume of contributions from noted architects and academics makes the case for rethinking the practices of programming and planning to incorporate evidence-based design, systems thinking and a deeper understanding of our evolutionary nature. These 18 original essays highlight how human and environmental health are closely related and should be incorporated as mutually reinforcing goals in every design project. Together, these chapters describe the framework for a new paradigm of building performance and design of the human experience. Programming—the stage at which research is conducted and goals established—provides an opportunity to examine potential impacts and to craft strategies for wellbeing in new buildings and renovations using the latest scientific methods. This book expands the scope of the programming process and provides essential guidance for sustainable practice and the advancement of wellbeing in the built environment for architecture and interiors students, practitioners, instructors and academics.

If you were to design a building that prioritises occupants’ happiness, what would it look like? How would the materials, form and layout support healthy ways of living and working? Delving into the evidenced-based research on architecture and mental wellbeing, The Happy Design Toolkit helps you to create happier places. It explores how factors, such as lighting, comfort, control over our environments and access to nature, exercise and social interaction, can impact how we feel. Easy-to-understand tips include bringing nature into your developments with roof gardens and living facades and countering social isolation with communal areas that encourage chance interaction. Each of the featured architectural interventions includes an analysis of the wellbeing benefits as well as the potential limitations or associated challenges.

This thesis examines the potential of architecture to improve mental health through the design of public space. To determine the programmatic needs of a site, this document uses a human perception framework to analyze the existing street conditions. This creates a built environment that allows for improved mental well-being of the public through positive social interactions. By implementing a design tool kit, this project aims to support the architectural process of creating public space that promotes positive well-being in an urban community. This examination will be three-fold: through human-focused design rather than object-making design, the restorative benefits through the integration of nature, and the sensorial qualities of architecture in its material and formal composition. This research develops a programmatic system that promotes positive social interaction through the design of a public square in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Fueled by an increasingly interconnected world, the desire for engaging experiences plays a more important role in interiors than ever before. There is a tendency in the design of products, furniture, and environments toward enhanced interaction that employs psychosocial principles. This publication presents both high and low-tech applications ranging from a light fixture to art installations and fully realized buildings. The book illustrates human-centered design strategies through a series of six chapters, each including examples that introduce one of following approaches: communicating, stimulating, synomorphic, transactional, transformative, and challenging.

Rapid urbanization represents major threats and challenges to personal and public health. The World Health Organisation identifies the ‘urban health threat’ as three-fold: infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases; and violence and injury from, amongst other things, road traffic. Within this tripartite structure of health issues in the built environment, there are multiple individual issues affecting both the developed and the developing worlds and the global north and south. Reflecting on a broad set of interrelated concerns about health and the design of the places we inhabit, this book seeks to better understand the interconnectedness and potential solutions to the problems associated with health and the built environment. Divided into three key themes: home, city, and society, each section presents a number of research chapters that explore global processes, transformative praxis and emergent trends in architecture, urban design and healthy city research. Drawing together practicing architects, academics, scholars, public health professional and activists from around the world to provide perspectives on design for health, this book includes emerging research on: healthy homes, walkable cities, design for ageing, dementia and the built environment, health equality and urban poverty, community health services, neighbourhood support and wellbeing, urban sanitation and communicable disease, the role of transport infrastructures and government policy, and the cost implications of ‘unhealthy’ cities etc. To that end, this book examines alternative and radical ways of practicing architecture and the re-imagining of the profession of architecture through a lens of human health.
