Professor Alan Dilani Salutogenic Design Lecture

Salutogenic Design to promote health and wellbeing. This is the most comprehensive lecture on Salutogenic Design theory. What make people healthy how design and architecture could promote health and well-being. What is health and what is stress? How we can reduce stress through the quality of architecture and design. How government could improve health of society by implementing Salutogenic approach to design,. T here is an urgent and ever-growing awareness world wide of the need to invest in healthy and sustainable infrastructure. By applying salutogenic design principles that seek to promote greater health, this landmark shift can begin to occur. The resulting and striking healthful outcomes of such existing structures bring these concepts to the forefront of global building opportunities. This approach now comprises the leading edge of change in our society. By embracing these precepts to shape our built environments and infrastructure, we engage in shifting the quality of such environments. Salutogenic architecture is taking its rightful place in the vanguard of preventative care strategies that have the potential to change our lifestyle for the better. Health has become a commodity that is not equally distributed within society. Certain groups of individuals are more successful than others in having access to proper health-related knowledge and information. This data gathering is very often supported by a healthier lifestyle, in combination with lower exposure to risk factors within the built environment. The author discusses the principles and ideas for a salutogenic design approach in planning future built environments with one simple goal: to create a healthier society. For design professionals (architects, planners, designers et al), the focus upon and concern for designing a sustainable healthy future society is the most compelling task to be addressed and implemented in all societal sectors where human beings live work and play. Introduction During the 66th General Assembly Meeting of the United Nations in September 2011, the socio-economic challenge of non-communicable diseases was discussed for the first time. The author argues that built environments have a significant impact upon human health and states his commitment to bringing this understanding to the design and health professions to help reduce the prevalence of lifestyle diseases that are becoming the major health problem in our planet. For this shift to occur, there must be an ever-increasing emphasis on promotion of a healthful society that is supported by investment in healthy and sustainable public, social, institutional and domestic infrastructure. Research on the salutogenic direction highlights the impact that design factors can have, inspiring both designer and planner to create a healthy society. For the designer, the compelling question is: “How do we design for a sustainable healthy future?” First of all, we need to envision how such architecture might look if it is to be sustainable and salutogenic. This query necessitates an expanded understanding by addressing the health consequences of architectural design’s functions and processes. This shift includes finding new models for design, seeking new construction and production systems, materials and processes, along with the action we must to take to realize this new vision with comprehensive salutogenic strategies. The salutogenic design approach becomes an opportunity for the architectural profession to not only help the world with its problems, but also to stop creating new issues. Salutogenic design must become the core essence of all architecture, changing the way we design. But how should we shape our future environment so it responds to the pressing demands of our society? We are living in a post-industrial age amidst the knowledge (Google) society; in this milieu, architecture should provide positive stimuli that promote creativity. Therefore a new way of looking at the role of the built environment is required within the context of health and well-being: this new perspective is Salutogenic design. Salutogenic design highlights the impact of design factors that inspire both the designer and planner to create a healthy society: (1) by developing healthy urban design that stimulates healthy behavior and thereby (2) supporting the prevention of diseases and the promotion of health. Increased consideration of a salutogenic design approach leads to social innovation. Salutogenic design requires an interdisciplinary application of psychosocial factors with architecture that actually promote a healthy lifestyle. In order to reduce the global burden of disease in an efficient way, major investments need to be made in the promotion of healthy lifestyles and development of healthy spaces.
