Healthy Building. Examples of Integrated Strategies, Solutions, Systems, and Materials

This presentation will address how the integration of innovative strategies and solutions in architectural design can directly improve people’s health and well-being. We will explore concrete examples where air and water quality, thermal, acoustic and lighting comfort, as well as ergonomics and accessibility, have been key elements in creating healthier spaces. We will briefly review the criteria for proper material and system selection. We will also examine how we have aimed to foster a connection with the natural environment and promote mobility and sociability within buildings, transforming them into environments that not only serve a function but also act as active agents in human health.
