Obviously, it’s important to be healthy. Yet, somehow, it has become harder and harder to be so. Nevertheless, slowly but surely people are understanding that things can be taken only too far before becoming detrimental to the body and mind. Although there have been much effort in increasing our well-being, one interesting market has involved healthy architecture.
By revamping existing drugstores and hospitals, while introducing healthy venues such as restaurants and hotels, hopefully healthy architecture will continue to thrive.
