Doctors' Notes: Buildings

Chris and Xand continue their conversation about how the built environment affects our health, with architect Lisa Finlay from Heatherwick Studio.

They ask when wellbeing first became a serious consideration in architecture, how Lisa weaves it into her own projects, and whether cities can be designed in ways that actively support public health.

They also explore what the “healthy building” of the future might look like, and whether architecture could play a bigger role in preventing illness before it starts.
