Our Springtime virtual panel discussed how the buildings we work and live in affect how we socialise, work, sleep, and even breathe.
We spend a staggering 90% of our lives inside, so our environment's quality has a significant impact on our health. Created badly, spaces can isolate or endanger us – designed well, they can enhance our wellbeing, even heal us.
