Is the design of the built environment a healthcare profession? Evidence suggests that it is. This course explores the science, patterns, and process of salutogenic design, innate human spatial preferences, their evolutionary origins, purpose, and relevance in meeting today’s interconnected environmental and health challenges. Current research from evolutionary biology, cognitive neuroscience, biopsychology, and chronobiology informs biophilic interventions, where design for cognitive ease and perceptual fluency reveals itself as the most viable path to sustainability within the range of homeostatic resilience. Participants will create ‘well-being habitats’ in synch with hard-wired physiological preferences.
