Blue Urbanism with Architects as Healers: Buildings as Medicine

ARCHITECTING Podcast - Career + Lifestyle Mentoring for Architects looking to move beyond overwhelm and make a difference through design

You might have heard of Clubhouse, the social audio app. In this episode, you get to listen in to the Architecting Club's Architects as Healers: Buildings as Medicine weekly room as we talk Blue Urbanism.

1. What if we could look at the components of Blue Zones and reconstruct them in modern urban environments?
2. To create healthy urban spaces, you need to understand the exposome: a combination of social determinants to health and physical environmental conditions.
3. Blue Urbanism includes clean air, access to nature, quiet, dark skies at night, safe water and healthy food, and opportunities to form broad social networks using active design.
4. Midscapes are a great way to create access to nature while providing shelter from the elements to lower carbon footprints and create more pedestrian access.
5. You can actively promote blue urbanism in your community even if you aren't an urban design expert. Activism means buildign awareness, not being an expert.
6. Join us each week as we host guest experts on topics related to how the built environment can enhance wellness.

Stay Inspired,

Angela
