Are We Going to Build Spaces That Empower Everyone?
Strength, Resilience, and Design: How Do They Intersect?
As we step into 2025, the question of inclusive, empowering design has never been more urgent. From walkable cities to biophilic spaces that heal and inspire, the environments we inhabit shape our lives in profound ways—and yet, so many are still built with a "one size fits all" approach.
In my latest Medium article, I explore:
💡 How functional fitness can empower those with invisible limitations.
💡 Why inclusive urban design is key to creating equitable mobility for all.
💡 The transformative power of biophilic design in fostering well-being—drawn from my personal countryside retreat over the festive season.
The article dives into practical solutions for creating resilient, inclusive spaces—spaces where we can all thrive.
Takeaways:
1. Challenge your own limitations with small, sustainable steps.
2. Advocate for inclusive, walkable spaces in your communities.
3. Bring nature indoors—through light, greenery, or design—to foster calm and connection.
