Title: | Design for Human Flourishing: a novel design approach for a more 'humane' architecture | Authors: | STEVENS, Ruth PETERMANS, Ann VANRIE, Jan |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | The design journal, 22 (4), p. 391-412 | Abstract: | Architects today still highly rely on intuition attempting to handle more emotional, well-being-related design requests of clients. It seems that newly formed design demands present challenges that cannot be fully answered through the current existing design paradigms. Additionally, a ‘humanization’ trend in architectural design can be noticed of influences that steer architecture on a more ‘humane’ course, thereby advocating the viability of ‘well-being’ as a structured design approach in architecture. This paper aims to answer to this current momentum in architecture, by explicating a novel design approach called ‘Design for Human Flourishing’ (DfHF), based on a literature study of well-being theory through an architectural lens. Concretely, five well-being related attributes will be identified that define DfHF’s characteristics. Furthermore, what DfHF means in architectural practice will be illustrated via a design example. | Notes: | Stevens, R (reprint author), Hasselt Univ, Fac Architecture & Arts, Martelarenlaan 42, BE-3500 Hasselt, Belgium. ruth.stevens@uhasselt.be | Keywords: | architecture; well-being; human flourishing; design approach | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/28010 | Link to publication/dataset: | https://www.tandfonline.com/action/journalInformation?journalCode=rfdj20 Design for Human Flourishing |
