Abstract Details

2008, MA, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture (Master of).
In today's building design, there is so much focus on innovation and technology thatthe well-being of the user is often overlooked and not taken into account. Instead of benefiting its users, the building is harmful to them and their social, physical, psychological and spiritual health is compromised. To counteract this current trend of technologically, but not user-focused buildings, a building that is designed based upon user-health seems necessary. Not only should this building promote overall well-being, but it should also teach such a lifestyle to its inhabitants. This will be most useful in an environment centered around learning that is also an integral part of an existing community and is closely associated and involved with a natural setting. It must attempt to integrate social, physical, psychological and spiritual qualities so all elements of the program can work both individually and collectively toward an overall well-being. Not only should those being taught and those teaching benefit from this building, but the existing community should also have access in order to improve upon their collective well-being as well.
