Architecting wellbeing: How designers impact human...

2025/05/15

Dr. Esther Sternberg may not have predicted she would author several books on the built environment’s impact on human health. After all, until 2012, she was working as a senior scientist at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) studying the brain-immune connection. But a chance encounter in 2000 with the then-research director for the US General Services Administration (GSA) would forever change the trajectory of her research work––and it started with one question, “Can we measure the impact of a

Have you ever met one of those people who seems like they’ve already lived a thousand lives in just a matter of decades? Well, Dr. Gautam Gulati (or Dr. G as he prefers) is one of the humans…or rather super humans. He’s earned multiple degrees, from medical to business to design, launched several successful ventures, and speaks around the world...and that's the short list. And the golden thread through each of these endeavors? Changing people’s lives. Of course, Dr. G. also doesn’t shy away from

How archimania is Creating a Carbon-Neutral Corridor

663 S. Cooper may be home to archimania, an architecture firm in Memphis, TN, but that’s just one detail of this unassuming (yet inviting) building on S. Cooper St. What started as the remodel of a pair of midcentury buildings and a tenacious goal of achieving zero carbon, zero energy, blossomed into something much bigger: the making of a connected, carbon-neutral corridor. See how this team of archimaniacs proved the model for achieving zero carbon, zero energy on a budget, and how they’re working

Achieving Low-Carbon Design Through Plant-Based Building

2025/04/17

Build shelter. Not too big. Mostly plants. Those seven simple words––though borrowed and modified from famed author Michael Pollan in more recent years––embody the ideology that has guided the Bay-area architecture firm Arkin Tilt for nearly three decades. Led by David Arkin and Anni Tilt, they decided early on to hang their hats on ecological design –– mindfully adapting designs to be harmonious with the surrounding ecology and working with bio-based, alternative construction systems like straw

Could These Be the Healthiest Homes in Phoenix?

piper: decoding healthy & regenerative design ·

2025/04/10

Welcome to Vali Mews, a four-home urban development in the heart of Phoenix that was designed as somewhat of an experiment. Several years ago, the duo behind this ambitious project, Austin Trautman and Lucas Johnson, set out to see if they could create the “everything bagel” of good building. Not only did they aim to use materials and building practices that were mindful of human health, embodied carbon and embodied injustice, they simultaneously wanted to address the “missing middle” housing

Preserving modernism, nature and human joy

2025/01/09

Modernist architecture may be among the more divisive, debated and controversial architectural styles throughout history. But love it or hate it, few can contest its contributions to fundamentally shifting the way humans engage with the built environment. Modernist architects believed in designing spaces that blurred the lines between indoors and outdoors, tapped into primal instincts and desires and eased the stresses of modern life––in a sense, providing architectural therapy. And George Smart,

Inside the long-awaited WELL for Residential standard

2024/12/05

Most homes are not built with human health in mind. In fact, many are actually contributing to negative health outcomes and overall poor health in occupants young and old. But what does a “healthy” home look like? What features should be incorporated and what should be avoided? This is what the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) set out to solve nearly four years ago. But the history of IWBI and its effort to create a standard of wellness in the built environment dates back to more than a

Can high performance and beautiful design coexist? This home cracks the code. Civitas is many things to many people. It’s a study in sustainability and scalability. It’s a connection point for the surrounding neighborhood. It’s a test in pairing high design and high performance. And for Barry Yoakum, the architect behind the project, it’s also his family home and an opportunity to pay homage to a place that’s near and dear to his heart. And Barry is all too keen to welcome the community in to tell

2024/10/24

Like all great movements, mindful MATERIALS grew out of a need. For many years, it existed as a database, but along that path, it began to attract stakeholders from all corners of the building industry who were passionate about proliferating healthy materials action. Architects, designers, engineers, manufacturers, and owners, to name a few, were joining in what was rapidly becoming an international movement. Each year, mindful MATERIALS has a growing presence at the Greenbuild conference. And

2024/10/22

Have you ever considered how many chemicals you encounter on a daily basis? It’s not something most of us typically think about unless there is a strong odor present or a warning label in eyesight. But the fact of the matter is, there’s almost no escaping them and you might be surprised to know just how many surround us and pose health and environmental risks. Mike Johnson director of materials at the International Living Future Institute (ILFI) talks about how we can become more aware of these

2024/10/22

Is organic architecture the key to sustainable building? This home in Scottsdale, Arizona, designed and developed by desert modernist architect Craig Wickersham, is an exploration of the principles of organic architecture as taught by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. This project, at the base of Pinnacle Peak, demonstrates how starting with a deep respect and love for the land and surrounding ecosystem impacts design decisions and ultimately the imprint on the environment.
