Architects if there's one book you need to read this month make it this one Wellbeing and Happiness
Through Architecture and Design This book stems from a uniquely honest reflection of the author's personal mental health struggles and the resultant realisation of the importance of design in creating happy and healthy spaces We spend ninety percent of our lives in buildings And this study really illustrates numerous ways that we can design to improve our homes and workplaces It not only covers tangible strategies but also the ephemeral feeling of spaces through our senses and the forging of family and companionship through our homes
Ultimately it introduces a movement to create small but big changes to our lives for the better all through architecture Sounds like a good idea to me

The book is very accessible for people from with different experiences different ages and even background like you don't need to be an architect To read and to understand and to be motivated to rethink your physical environment and ... the approach on discussing our everyday environments not just the magnificent church or museum that we would visit perhaps only once.
... I made even a note here of one part that you mentioned I think you were mentioning your daughters and you talk about the naivety is golden and how children are thirsty for information And I think this is something that with age and development we tend to lose And I was happy to read that and that you brought light into that topic because I think we need to get back to that naivety that children have and that we once had and maybe we lost in our (adult) journeys.

As someone with little knowledge of design, Frven's book gave me fresh perspective about how design can influence mental health and wellbeing. Written in a very accessible way too! The author's personal anecdotes make it extremely relatable.

The interesting thing in Architecture is that you are not just a lone Artist, but you need instead the entire village behind you.
... a happy chef will create food that makes people happy, and Architecture is the same.

Fren's book is first about accompanying him through his life-journey.
To understand his state of mind when he wrote the book. You admire his gumption and ambition, as well as his sensitivity to how his work is perceived as he initially strove for recognition as a creative professional, then for control as a leader-manager.

This book has substantiated how our ‘live and work’ spaces directly impact our mental health and behavior. Through his engaging personal stories and illustrations, Frven was able to bridge scientific research into practical application. You will be inspired to spruce up your room!

Fren's work builds on that towards holistic well being beyond what we conceived as boundaries. To understand and embrace the thought that we are all one, not fragmented parts, is liberating. Design Thinking is more an art rather than science which unfortunately have been enacted in many pratices. Looking foward to working with Frven on an upcoming project.

I have just read your book and I found it as a great read! Congratulations on your work!
I have been always fascinated and curious about design and I felt that spaces influence us and that we can do something about it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights!
TWO books in ONE
We live in challenging times. Although technological advances and today, AI, seem to outperform us at most tasks and reduce the time we need to perform any task, it seems like we could all do with 36-hour days.
Therefore, I have experimented with writing a book for readers without design training and fused it with another for the architects and designers. In this way, I am building a bridge that links architecture and design with the topics of well-being and happiness. This is a book packed with nuggets of knowledge shared from my personal experiences, and my aim was to blend enjoyment with the pursuit of happiness through the facets of E, G and M (hook here for you to find out more in the book).
