Great Indoors: The Surprising Science of How Buildings Shape Our Behavior, Health, and Happiness | 
pickThis was interesting. I liked reading about different buildings, like the Mitaka lofts and the Fable hospital, and the scientific theories and research that went into their design. We spend a lot of time in indoor spaces, whether it‘s school, home, work, the office, or the gym, so it was fun to look at how their flow and design and access to or incorporation of natural elements can impact our health, mood, and thought processes.
pickI found this look at the indoors super interesting, especially considering that we live so much of our lives inside in modern society. It covers a wide variety of approaches, but maybe take it with a grain a salt, as WeWork gets a lot of praise and, well… Also, it starts by looking at the bacteria all over our homes, so fair warning if you want to skip past that bit.
Audiobook for dog walking and cracker making, since I apparently have to do that EVERY WEEK now.
Really interesting. I now understand why Fort Belvior Community Hospital looks the way it does - it opened in 2011, and used evidence-based design, as Anthes describes in an early chapter. Gotta say, I like the FBCH building a lot better than I do Walter Reed.
