About this ebook
Healthy Wood Spaces explores the significant connection between wooden environments and human well-being, delving into how incorporating wood into our surroundings can improve both physical and mental health. It examines the science behind biophilic design, revealing our innate connection to nature, and how the presence of wood can reduce stress and enhance cognitive performance. The book uniquely synthesizes findings from environmental psychology, neuroscience, and building science, advocating for a design approach that prioritizes long-term health implications, challenging conventional methods that often overlook these crucial factors.
The book progresses by first introducing the core concepts of biophilic design and the scientific evidence supporting the health benefits of wood. It then reviews studies demonstrating wood's positive effects on stress reduction and cognitive function, explores how wood impacts indoor air quality and humidity, and analyzes design strategies for integrating wood effectively. This comprehensive approach makes Healthy Wood Spaces a valuable resource for architects, interior designers, and anyone interested in creating healthier spaces.
