Wellbeing+Happiness thru' Architecture+Design - Paperback

by Frven Lim (Author)

What if the spaces you live, work, and play in could make you feel happier every single day?

In Wellbeing + Happiness Thru' Architecture + Design, architect and thought leader Frven Lim shows you how the built environment holds the keys to greater joy, emotional balance, and mental clarity-if only we knew how to see and shape it.

Born from the author's own transformative journey-from career success and deep depression to rediscovering purpose through design-this book is not your typical architecture manual. It's a heartfelt, rebellious manifesto that blends neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and 25 years of architectural practice into an eye-opening guide for everyone-designers and non-designers alike.

You'll discover:

• How small changes to your home or workspace can uplift your mood and shift your habits.
• Why materiality, light, sound, and spatial function directly impact your well-being.
• How to cultivate "mental fitness" through your surroundings.
• What it means to design for joy-not just aesthetics or efficiency.
• The myth of "if it's not broken, don't fix it"-and what it's costing your happiness.

Frven Lim invites you into the WHAD Movement: a call to design better lives, not just better buildings. With personal stories, practical strategies, and warm encouragement, this is a book that doesn't just inform-it awakens.
