Episode #42: Naturally Animated Architecture Improves Well-Being w/ Kevin Nute

Smart Living Hawaii

Today we will continue our Sustainable Leaders series and have a Talk Story with Kevin Nute, a professor and an architect who brings health and well-being into a home and work place through design. It’s a very interesting concept and our goal today is to explain this mostly visual concept through words on a podcast for our listeners! This concept is called Naturally Animated Architecture and we will see how something so subtle and naturally derived can bring people to a healthier state of mind. To have a better visual of our non-visual podcast, please visit Kevin's website to learn more and see it for yourself: http://www.vitalarchitecture.org/
