It’s been such a natural fit for an org like Centre for Public Impact to collaborate with WonderLab on a Melbourne DesignWeek offering! We both love learning and a few things have really made a more mutual learning posisble. 💡Generosity of ideas and a clear commitment to working in relational, creative and affirming ways, (which seems to be part of the dna of how WonderLabbers show up in engagements), means we build/maintain relationships, and can have more trust in eachother, curiosity about differences in opinion, and give and receive feedback well. 📆I think having the scheduled time available with the explicit intent of testing ideas and getting feedback is one of the most impactful and easy to implement hacks to build a culture of learning. It’s also bloody hard to protect space and time for learning and build habits as a team. 3….? I’m super curious what others are doing to develop practice, and hold space for learning from and with eachother. What’s your favorite tip, or something you’ve seen done well?!

We need to think about architecture that is supportive rather than stigmatising.   This is the message from Swedish architect and lecturer in architecture and urban design, Dr. Jonas E. Andersson, when it comes to architecture for elderly people with dementia.   In order to succeed, we need to work much more with notions of familiarity and the feeling of ''home''. This is according to architect and segment specialist Kristina Møller Hansen from FRIIS & MOLTKE Architects in Denmark.   In our online senior architecture feature, read the interview with two experts – and understand why colours, shapes and materials are essential for the quality of life of people with dementia: https://lnkd.in/ePSvPrev #troldtekt #goodacoustics

The intersection of health sciences and the built environment is where the magic happens! Recently, I had the chance to explore this intersection at UPenn Stuart Weitzman School of Design's executive program, starting with biclimactic design. It's amazing how practical applications in health sciences can take you further in the built environment industry, and vice versa. There's an art to the science, and technicality to execute both is essential, and I'm excited to begin to integrate it into the field! #healthscience #builtenvironment #practicalapplications #biclimacticdesign #humancentereddesign #climatechangemitigation #integratedsolutions #xds #sustainability

🏛 Excited to announce the launch of my new article series, Architecture is Therapy, "Arepy" where I delve into the profound ways in which architecture influences our well-being and emotional state. Join me on this journey as we explore how the spaces we inhabit can deeply impact our lives. In this series, we'll unravel the symbiotic relationship between architecture and human psychology, uncovering how thoughtful design can alleviate stress, foster creativity, and enhance our overall quality of life. From the calming influence of natural light to the restorative power of open spaces, we'll examine the myriad ways in which architecture serves as a form of therapy. Join the conversation on #ArchitectureTherapy and stay tuned for thought-provoking insights into the transformative potential of architectural design. Let's reimagine the built environment as a source of comfort, inspiration, and healing. #Architecture #TherapeuticDesign #WellBeing #DesignPsychology

What influence do indoor climate, air quality, architecture and work organisation have on the recovery of patients in hospitals? 🏥 Scientists from #TUBraunschweig, Technische Universität Berlin and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin are investigating this in an interdisciplinary research project. "The influence of building structures on the health of patients is often underestimated," says Prof. Wolfgang Sunder from the Institute of Construction Design, Industrial and Health Care Building (IKE) at TU Braunschweig. The location of a building alone is relevant, for example when it comes to the risk of heat stress.

Topic: _Spaces of Interaction: The Intersection of Architecture and Social Sciences_ Talk by : Ar. Azna Parveen Architect, Urban Designer Abstract Architecture is a tangible manifestation of time, informed by the economic, cultural and political contexts within which it emerges. Shaped further by functionalities, environmental adaptations and aesthetic trends, it serves as a lens to gain insights into the values, capabilities and aspirations of societies globally. The interdisciplinary dialogue between architecture and social sciences is thus vital in understanding our built environments, their past, present and futures. This talk delves into understanding the symbiotic relationship between the disciplines of architecture and social sciences, exploring how architectural theory and practice intersect with social science methodologies. It emphasizes on the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to spatial explorations to provide a more cohesive and deeper understanding of communities and culture.
