LoLa Podcast | Ep.14 Alessandro Caruso, Buildings That Heal People

In this episode of the LoLa Podcast, Roger Theophanous sits down with Alessandro Caruso, founder of Alessandro Caruso Architects and Interiors. Alessandro’s work focuses on healing architecture, designing buildings that actively support human wellbeing rather than simply meeting functional or regulatory requirements. His practice works extensively across healthcare, education, and specialist environments, including NHS projects, mental health facilities, dementia care spaces, and community diagnostic centres. The conversation explores how Alessandro’s personal experience shaped his mission, why most buildings unintentionally increase stress, and how architecture should be designed as an experience rather than an object. Roger and Alessandro dig into how environments affect the nervous system, mental health, and behaviour, and why this thinking must extend beyond hospitals into workplaces, schools, and public spaces. They also unpack how VR, BIM, and AI are being used inside architectural workflows. Alessandro explains how virtual reality allows clinicians, staff, and decision makers to walk through buildings before they are built, revealing problems early and improving collaboration. The discussion around AI is grounded and practical, focused on acceleration, research, and better decision making rather than replacement of human judgement. If you care about architecture, wellbeing, healthcare design, VR in the built environment, or the real role of AI in creative industries, this episode delivers real insight.
