Description

Globally renowned architect Tye Farrow bridges the gap in knowledge between the therapeutic medical world and the design community to reveal how the intentional shaping of our environment can support our physical and neurological well-being. Constructing Health explores recent discoveries in cognitive psychology (the science of the mind) and neuroscience (the science of the brain) to determine how we can form health-giving person-to-place relationships that are similar to healthy and meaningful person-to-person relationships. This richly illustrated and visually captivating book shows how we can intentionally design our environments to make them more generous and help us in our daily lives. This conscious practice not only reduces environmental damage but also enhances physical, societal, and mind health. Farrow offers an engaging and accessible way to discover how we can construct health through specific, measurable design qualities and characteristics to enhance human performance in our cities, our homes, and our places of learning and healing.

Author Biography:

Tye Farrow is a senior partner at Farrow Partners Architects. Working at the intersection of architecture and neuroscience, he is a world-recognized pioneer in tackling how our creations either give or cause health. With award-winning projects around the globe that enact salutogenic design – design that actively incites health – he is the first Canadian architect to have earned a Master of Neuroscience Applied to Architecture (University of Venice IUAV); he also has a Master of Architecture in Urban Design (Harvard University) and a Bachelor of Architecture degree (University of Toronto). He is a much sought-after speaker who has presented to respected organizations and universities in over forty cities on six continents, including the Salk Institute, the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the Mayo Clinic, and the Cleveland Clinic.
