Architecture has the capacity to function as a source of dis-ease or to artfully improve our quality of life and health. Salutogenic design is a concept of understanding the impact of surrounding environment on human health and wellbaing.
This healthful philosophy provides a benchmark for how to live, work, and heal. My vision is that the applied knowledge of design and health should be integrated into all healthcare training, to affect society’s health and growth powerfully in the future. The overall objective is to contribute to a society where people live longer with optimal health, and with a higher quality of life and productivity. Dilani developed Salutogenic principles to be applied for all types of infrastructure projects-- ranging from city planning to creating offices as healthy workplaces or improving environments quality for young people in their schools or at home.
