In the wake of healthcare reform’s emphasis on prevention and the impending “silver tsunami” of aging boomers, the relationship of health and wellness to the environment demands our attention. Our lecture series will address issues associated with health, healthcare and the built environment.
Topics to be discussed:
· How urban design dictates activity levels, social interactions and the local impact of diabetes, cardiovascular and lung disease while considering an aging population and war veteran user group
· How Evidenced Based Design, focused on outcomes in healthcare facilities, is further validating the importance of creating healing environments.
· How can we amplify the impact of green design, creating more natural experiences that touch the human spirit in a nurturing, healing way? The introduction of pedestrian centric design, xeriscaping, and active green spaces, green roofs, open stairs, sunlight and fresh air promote wellness and sustainability in the natural and built environment.
