Tye Farrow is the senior partner at Farrow Partners Architecture and is an internationally renowned expert on the intersection of architecture and health. With a Masters of Neuroscience in Applied Architecture and dozens of world-class, mind-blowing projects under his belt – its easy to see why. His projects include hospitals, education centers, and even entire plans for iconic cities like Venice, Italy. And to top it off – Tye just released his thought-leading new book Constructing Health: How the Environment Enhances Mind Health.
 
 We dive deep into Tye's new book and explore how the spaces we design and inhabit, from cities to our homes, significantly impact our mental and physical health. We address the shocking fact that the average North American spends 87% of their life indoors, underscoring the importance of creating positive indoor environments. Tye's insights into how educational settings and workplaces can affect mental health, and the role of materials like mass timber in reducing stress, are critical for anyone interested in creating healthier, more productive spaces.
 
 We don't stop there; Tye enlightens us on how nature, art and complex patterns stimulate our creativity and enhance our well-being. Ever heard of forest bathing, or embreathment? Tye explains these concepts and how they contribute to our health. Last, we discuss how health-generation, or salutogenesis, can revolutionize building design and create high-performance buildings that promote physical and mind health.
