Abstract

The role of architecture design on our well- being is one of great importance and my preoccupation. Our lives are spent mostly indoors; from work to home, from home to school, or even to the nearby cafe - our daily lives practically revolve around the built environment. However rarely as part of the design process do we ask ourselves “how does design contribute to well-being?”This essay is a reflection on the complex relationship between architecture and wellbeing-of what architecture has offered in the past and what it can offer in the future. Through a series of chapters, beginning from a personal project to those of pioneering architects, it tries to analyse how the theme has been approached. It intends to highlight the ‘power’ we have as designers of the built environment to make the world a better place to live in.
