Principles of salutogenic architecture design

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №1 (85) March, 2024

Growing chronic diseases among city dwellers, rapidly spreading epidemics due to increased mobility lifestyles, and the consequences of forced isolation in response to the recent global pandemic command the attention of researchers in various fields of knowledge to the modeling of a salutogenic habitat in modern cities. The aim of this study is to identify the principles of architecture that contributes to human health and general well-being. In particular, the study seeks to develop a theoretical model of salutogenic architecture; review domestic and international theoretical studies and design developments devoted to various aspects of salutogenic architecture and of salutogenesis; and analyze techniques of form generation, functional planning and environmental organization of architecture, especially residential complexes and urban clusters that meet the criteria of salutogenesis. The following principles have been identified: balance, symbiosis and hybridization, variation and integration, transformation, stimulation and discharge, meaningfulness and manifestation, controllability and autonomy. The identified principles and techniques allow the design process and search for architectural form for residential urban clusters to be appropriately adjusted to achieve a salutogenic built environment.

Laying groundwork for the development of a salutogenic architecture design method in the context of physical activity

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (84) December, 2023

The purpose of the research work is to model behavior control through spatial organization for developing a method of salutogenic architecture design. At this stage of research, we use an interpretive method to summarize interdisciplinary knowledge about the influence of spatial organization on human behavior and the psychophysiology of space perception in the context of behavioral choice in order to identify spatial configurations that promote salutogenic behavior. The main conclusions of the research work are presented as generalized principles of architectural environment development that promote increased motor activity. The results of the study open further research venues for the development of the above-mentioned design method.
