Abstract

The perception that sustainable architecture, human health and well-being are related is beginning to gain attention. This is because the human physical, psychosocial, and spiritual well-being are positively affected by built spaces which serve as healthy or therapeutically or medicinal environments to users. This theoretical discourse has identified strategies for designing architecture for health and well-being through some considerations that include; biophilic design, human centered design, knowledge-based design, and socially responsible design. This article concludes that the architect needs to have sustainable education, adapt the identified strategies into design of all spaces and improved knowledge on architecture for health and well-being. Thus, this article recommends future research to explore other methodologies for contextualization and possibilities.
