News: Causing Health Globally
Farrow Partners is globally recognized as a pioneer of salutogenic design – design that actively incites health. We are working globally in the realms of architecture, planning, and placemaking to cause health and increase knowledge about the important role architecture has to play in enhancing human health and performance. Recent highlights include:
Architectural Influence on Brain Wave Activity
The environment is capable of effecting brain wave activity which can generate desirable health outcomes. Salutogenic architectural design is fundamental to a health-causing experience, which is engrained in our placemaking work.
Emotions and The Built Environment
James Russel’s Circumplex model can aid in the understanding of how the built environment influences the human body through the mapping of emotions.
The Effects of Enriching and Impoverished Environments on the Brain
Neuroscience research demonstrates that the brain develops according the our environments, proving that the design of the built environment has the ability to enhance or diminish human health.
