The Architectural Medicine book, released in December 2020, is a publication that discusses the topics of health and wellness in the built environment in a new cohesive systems approach.
Topics such as the “Architectural Medicine System (AMS)” are discussed, which approaches the solutions for better health in the built environment by providing integrative, multi-disciplinary connections between the fields of Architecture and Medicine. This includes the Architectural Medicine Software Solution – ARxMD procedures and processes.
The Architectural Doctor and the Healthy Building Inspector
The Architectural Doctor and the Healthy Building Inspector are also topics that are discussed relative to creating and maintaining built environments for better health.
With the impact that the built environment has on human health and well being, this book focuses on this topic of increasing study, interest, and recognition. Both the Medical fields and the many fields connected with Architecture are learning of this influence on human health in their research. As these fields continue to develop, there becomes an increasing need for these fields to connect these “dots” of their research for the benefit of both the professions involved in the built environment and overall public health.
Architectural Medicine works to connect these dots to provide updates on the latest information related to these various fields, and to help build bridges for a healthier, greener, and more sustainable built environment.
The book brings more awareness to these issues of the built environment, as well as new approaches and systems for Heath in the Built Environment.
