Happy by Design by Ben Channon
Can good design truly make us happier? Given that we spend over 80% of our time in buildings, shouldn’t we have a better understanding of how they make us feel? This book explores the ways in which buildings, spaces and cities affect our moods. It reveals how architecture and design can make us happy and support mental health, and explains how poor design can have the opposite effect. Presented through a series of easy-to-understand design tips and accompanied by beautiful diagrams and illustrations, Happy by Design is a fantastic resource for architects, designers and students, or for anybody who would like to better understand the relationship between buildings and happiness.Ben Channon is an architect at Assael Architecture.

He coaches mindfulness at the practice and in his free time and in 2017 founded and chairs the Architects’ Mental Wellbeing Forum, which is focused on improving mental health within the industry. He has also lectured on wellbeing and architecture at Liverpool University, and writes for a number of publications on this subject.
