Unlock the Power of Place to Foster Social Health and Human Connection
Can architecture impact our capacity for connection?
The places of our lives shape how we connect one another. Everyday environments can make loneliness and isolation the default feel natural — or unnecessarily difficult —through the conditions they create.
Peavey’s TEDx Deep Ellum talk shows how design can support social connection. She provides an evidence-based framework for how to design for social health. Peavey’s report, How the Built Environment Can Foster Social Health, translates research into actionable design guidance for any space.
