Can Architecture Help You Heal? Lessons from Maggie's Center in Leeds Ever thought about the healing power of architecture? Maggie's Center in Leeds, England, shows us how. The center uses soft curves and natural materials to create a warm, calming space. Sustainable design features like sustainably sourced spruce and porous limestone enhance well-being. Architect Thomas Heatherwick from Heatherwick studio believes buildings should connect with our emotions, especially in healing spaces. For your content strategy, share human stories that highlight emotional connections. Use engaging designs, emphasize sustainability, and create emotionally resonant content. Collaborate with experts to boost credibility. Architecture’s healing power shows the impact of thoughtful design. Use these principles to connect meaningfully with your audience.

Should community centers break the mold of their urban environments? Should they blend in or stand out? What are the benefits of using natural building materials in dense urban neighborhoods? How can you create outdoor spaces in tight building lots? What's better... incremental change vs radical change? With a few hours to spare over the weekend, I created this rendering (excerpt below) continuing to develop my 2-week project from Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Harvard GSD Design Discovery Program - Summer 2023. These are the questions that have occupied my thoughts as I revisit this project. The deeper I delve into them, the greater my desire to push the boundaries of what this initial design iteration could evolve into. Curious to hear your thoughts about the questions above! #architecture #architecturedesign #sustainablearchitecture #design #community #communitycenter #dei

Alpha Yacob Arsano of Northwestern University is a brilliant human! In this episode of the Better Buildings for Humans Podcast, we do a deep dive on thermal comfort, natural ventilation, modeling, etc. This is a great episode!

Architecture is far more than just bricks and mortar; it is an expression of human history, ideologies, and philosophy. The manifestation of different architectural styles throughout history promotes varying ideological and behavioral tendencies, influencing how people interact with their built environments. Understanding this concept can guide your choice of vacation or retreat home, as the design and architectural style will undoubtedly shape your frame of mind.

Here is a little throwback image that we created a few years ago with Zoboki Design & Architecture. A modern hospital project with a sunny frosty winter mood that is a perfect representation on how slowly this year's spring is approaching us. 🤔 #architecturalvisualisation #architecturalconcept
