As most of us now understand, unplugging
and absorbing ourselves in more natural environments, can lower our levels of
stress, anxiety and depression. Through considered planning and design one may
support people in seeking respite from the intensity of modern environments or the
tether to technology.
The urbanisation is unavoidable. Therefore
when providing urban environments which facilitate spaces for distraction-free
focus and rejuvenation; or spaces which encourage people to come together is
rather essential.
Fluidity and openness are part of the solution. When
designing, one should respond to the modern challenges of rapid urbanisation
with a specific design in order to foster the human relationship with the
natural environment. One should also - encourage social interaction, provide a space
for inspired working, support our need to seek respite and enhance the
wellbeing of the communities and workplaces.
Using ecofriendly materials is playing an important role in
the total design.
Once we remember that the human being is only part of the holistic delicate globe system, it will make sense of a better holistic design.
