SCHOOLS – How educational facility teach our children to become healthier. How the physical environment encourage activities. i.e., Physical Activity Design Guideline for SCHOOL ARCHITECTURE

WORKPLACE – Office building and work place environment should raise our standard of active work environment. i.e., WELL Building Standard is a tool to make our work place a healthier place

COMMERCE – Financially active business commerce, market place, restaurants, coffee shops

DESIGN FOR HEALTHY COMMUNITYIt’s not just about

BUILDINGS

It’s about the

connected fabric of our

COMMUNITY

Design for Healthy and Livable Community THE GOALS: How to create the Urban Fabric for our cities? We the architects must venture beyond the boundary of the buildings that we design. It is the spaces between the buildings, the spaces beyond property lines. It is the walk path, bike trails, public transportation, the connection between the parks and community places, and the cultural /socio-economic vibrancy that will create Healthy and Livable cities.

Walk Path – The creation of neighborhood for a walkable community.

Bicycle Path – Safe bike trails to access local parks, neighborhood centers and central business districts.

TRANSPORTATIONS SYSTEM – How we promote our working and living arrangement to promote active walking

PARKS & RECREATION – Better connected parks and promenade to link walk paths, bike trails and open-space

COMMUNITY SPACES – Vibrant cultural center and community buildings and open plaza for public gatherings

OPEN SPACES – Open and reserved spaces for vista, nature and wildlife

CULTURAL / SOCIO- ECOMONIC – Underlying the physical built environment is our cultural heritage, the need for socialization and viable economic growth
