2020 was a year marked by airborne pathogens, wildfires, and a life-threatening pandemic. Our schools and places of worship closed, while restaurants, bars and gyns were off-limits. We were all sent home or driven outside. Our buildings were no longer healthy places. How can our buildings evolve to protect us from dangers both inside and out? Considering componenets for healthy building organizations such as WELL building standards and governmental health agencies, this presentation will evaluate air and water quality. It will further address light, ergonomics, movement, and surface materials impacting the user's health. Finally, it will consider the visceral and cognitive human response to buildings, which influences wellness.
The health crisis of 2020 has allowed us to rethink our built environment and the need to provide healthy buildings and a healthy world to inhabit. We can come away from this health crisis with design insight to improve our quality of life.
