In this episode, we will explore Tye Farrow’s book on
Constructing Health. Constructing Health is a compelling book about How the Built Environment Enhances Your Mind’s Health. It explores the relationship between placemaking, mind health and human performance, at the intersection of neuroscience and architecture.
We discuss:
- What Constructing Health is?
- What is Salutogenic Design and its importance in Constructing Health?
- What do comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness mean, and how do they relate to our environments?
- What are enriched environments and why are they important in design?
- How does design impact our minds' health?

Tye Farrow is a world-recognized pioneer tackling how what we create either gives or cause health. With award-winning projects around the globe that enact salutogenic design - design that actively incites health - he is the first Canadian architect to have earned a Master of Neuroscience Applied to Architecture (University of Venice Iuav), and has a Master of in Urban Design (Harvard University), and a Bachelor of Architecture degree (University of Toronto).
