The Healthy Indoors: New Challenges, New Designs

The Healthy Indoors candidly addresses the increasing need for spaces designed to serve multiple and diverse uses while promoting a culture of wellbeing and innovation. Health, wellbeing and comfort have become critical priorities in carving new spaces. Addressed through the use of carefully selected materials, systems and design strategies, these considerations are now widely implemented to augment the structures we inhabit, from our homes and workplaces to shops and healthcare centres. The Healthy Indoors provides a cleverly guided survey of projects that have successfully put the occupants’ physical and mental health at the centre of their design. Laying claim to significance beyond that of aesthetics, the 45 case studies selected for this book are thoroughly presented in a way that will appeal to both professionals and enthusiasts alike. Find out what are the healthiest new ways to live, work and play!
