How to design building interiors for better health?
Today, urban lives are mostly led indoors. It is crucial, therefore, to recognise the powerful role of interiors in determining health outcomes.
Design can have a positive or negative effect on our health. In the worst cases, the spaces we live or work in could be literally making us sick.
In this new explainer episode, our Editor-in-chief Nirmal Kishnani reveals the key ingredients of interiors designed for human well-being.
Through five projects, find out how building interiors can play an active role in nursing us back to health.
