21 Apr 2025
On today's episode of Architectette we chat with Erin Peavey. Erin is an architect, researcher, and the Health & Well-being Design Leader at HKS. She bridges the gap between research and practice with a focus on design for health, happiness, and social connection.We talk about: - Erin’s career journey: her early exposure to environmental psychology, how she navigated uncertainties in her career, and how she came to lead healthcare and community-focused architecture projects.- We talk about the importance of research and data and how this information can guide architectural decisions that promote health and wellbeing. - We also talk about loneliness and the importance of social connection. We focus on strategies to design spaces that foster belonging, community, and connection, with an emphasis on the impacts of the pandemic and how mindful engagement can reduce loneliness and lack of connection____Thank you to our sponsors:Arcol is a collaborative building design tool built for modern teams.
