• Resumen

  • Our planet is sick; so what hope for us who live on it? Robin Guenther, principal of international design practice Perkins+Will and Senior Advisor to the non-profit coalition Health Care Without Harm, argues that architecture for health is about more than curing human illness. It is also about regenerative design, where buildings become net resource generators rather than resource consumers, and where initiatives are established to prevent the causes of epidemics such as obesity, asthma and diabetes. The ongoing existence of healthy, thriving communities depends on it.
