Architectural Medicine Timothy D Rossi

Perhaps the two words "Architecture" and "Medicine" next to each other is a new concept, yet the goal of this book is to discuss how these two fields have a potential to overlap for a better built environment to live and work in.

The fields of Architecture and Medicine have changed quite a bit in the past fifty years, and while there have been many beneficial developments in each of these very large fields, there are still gaps relative to health in the built environment.

These topics also include the increasingly important issues of building energy use and the impact on the ecology in terms of a more sustainable future.

The intent of Architectural Medicine is to help integrate these various fields for the General Public, as well as the overall fields of Architecture and Medicine. A main goal is to help define these various fields and to participate in creating bridges between these fields in how they might all fit together.
