Shared Space Podcast.
Social health and human connection are essential. Shared Space uses neuroscience and design to explain how built environments shape our capacity to connect — and what we can do about it.
Designing for Safe Connection During COVID-19 - Senior Housing and Beyond with Patricia Gruits.
The pandemic forced a question designers had been avoiding: how do you create conditions for genuine human connection when proximity itself feels dangerous? Patricia Gruits of MASS Design joins Erin to explore the surprising overlap between designing for infection control and designing for social health — with a special focus on what senior living spaces get right and wrong about belonging.
