Description

The mental health crisis is a significant issue that has been recognized as a national concern for over 50 years. It affects a significant portion of the population and has been exacerbated by the recent pandemic. In response to this crisis, the design and construction industry has begun to shift its focus from sustainability to regenerative design, which takes into account the recovery of the natural environment, community mental health, social equity, human-centered design, and wellness. To address the mental health and well-being implications of regenerative design, we must consider neuroarchitecture and environmental psychology. This conference session will delve into these regenerative design principles and their impact on mental health and well-being, as well as the broader implications for design, the built environment, and the mental health crisis. We will review case studies spanning mental health facilities, schools, and mixed-use projects that have started implementing some of these principles and discuss their efficacy for the greater communities they serve. By paying greater attention to social, neurological, and ecological systems, the design and construction industry can strengthen its value to society as it addresses some of the most pressing issues of our time, including the current mental health crisis, ultimately improving care for those we serve.
