Architectural Epidemiology - The Book
Adele Houghton, FAIA, MPH, LEED AP and Professor Carlos Castillo-Salgado, MD, JD, DrPH are co-authors of the upcoming book Architectural Epidemiology, which is scheduled for publication by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2024. The book serves three purposes.
It proposes a new, transdisciplinary field of research and practice called Architectural Epidemiology, which straddles the real estate and public health fields of research and practice.
It is designed to be used as a course book in undergraduate and graduate courses on the intersection between real estate, design, climate change, chronic disease, and spatial analysis.
It can be used by practitioners as a field guide for implementing the architectural epidemiology framework on building projects large and small.
