How can we achieve and promote
well-being? Drawing on examples from the arts, humanities and design,
this book brings together work from a wide range of areas to reveal the
unique ways in which different disciplines approach the universal goal
of supporting well-being.
Pathways to Well-Being in Design
recognises that the distinction between academics and practitioners
often becomes blurred, where, when working together, a fusion of
thoughts and ideas takes place and provides a powerful platform for
dialogue.
Providing new insights into the approaches and issues
associated with promoting well-being, the book's multi-disciplinary
coverage invites readers to consider these ideas within the framework of
their own work.
The book's 12 chapters are authored by
academics who are involved in practice or are working with practitioners
and features real world case studies which cover a range of situations,
circumstances, environments, and social groups.
Pathways to Well-Being in Design
responds to those wishing to enquire further about well-being, taking
the reader through different circumstances to consider approaches,
discussing practice and theory, real world and virtual world
considerations.
This book is essential reading for anyone seeking
to understand well-being, including students and professionals in
architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, design and health
sciences.
