Health is a term that invokes every cultural issue from dietary concerns to environmental policies. Where do the many aspects of health intersect with architecture? How can the architect, urban designer, and city planner advocate for spatial, architectural, urban and environmental models of health and its many spheres of influence?

Atmospheric Health - How the discourses surrounding the built environment can advance atmospheric health and the air we breathe.

Autogenic Bodies of Control - The role of body within a complex neuro-chemical, bio-mechanical and geo-political network of mutually constructed practices and spaces.

Feedback: Medical Metrics in Architecture - Architecture as both the institutional construct and the physical presence by which events are captured, happen, and spatially embodied.

Improving Collective Health by Design - Examine the tensions and divergent public health design strategies emerging at the neighborhood, city government, health system, and national policy level in the U.S and around the world.

Aesthetics and Biopolitics - The political implications of a new aesthetic and biological mode of governing focused on the life and health of human populations.
