Vital Spaces: The Art of Healthy Building

The Idea People

This Women’s History Month let's vibe with Dr. Erika Eitland, a total game-changer in making our spaces healthier and our world cooler. As the boss at the Human Experience Lab of Perkins & Will (yep, that's the giant architect firm we're talking about), she's smashing ceilings as the first public health scientist calling the shots in architecture.

Dr. Erika isn't just about blueprints; she's all in on making schools, homes, and cities better for our health and the planet. From schooling the bigwigs at The World Bank and the EPA on her groundbreaking research to pushing for a blend of health vibes and economic gains in environmental talks, she’s out here shaping a future where everyone wins.

Look into her vision of a “perfect world” for affordable living and urban spaces. Plus, catch her spill on what makes a building truly healthy. Let's get inspired by Dr. Eitland this Women's History Month and see how Gen Z can lead the charge in building a better tomorrow.
