Podcast: Architect for health, not looks
Architects should focus on keeping occupants healthy. That’s it.
Heatwaves, fires and flooding will impact physical and mental health and will cause additional pressures on public health facilities. This means that not only health facilities but also offices, building and public spaces will have to be designed keeping in mind the health of people who will use them. Architects have to build for this new world also keeping affordability and a growing shortage of construction material in mind. New technology will help but it is also important that architects learn from what worked in the past.
