Salutogenic architecture is an approach to building design emphasises the creation of environments which promote physical, mental, and social well-being. The term salutogenic, the salutogenic approach or salutogenesis stems from the health science focus on health, as opposed to the focus on disease or pathogenesis. The word is made up of that Latin term 'Salus' meaning Health, and the Greek term 'Genesis' meaning origin or beginning.

= Applications in health =

The term was first coined in 1979 by the medical sociologist Aaron Antonovsky in his book Health, Stress and Coping (Antonovsky, A.Health, Stress and Coping. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 1979). He developed a theory or model ( the salutogenic model) the that suggested that the way people view their life can have a positive or negative influence on their health. The theory stemmed from a study he carried out interviewing a number of Israeli women who had been in concentration camps during the Holocaust, trying to explain why some women had stayed in good health despite their horiffic experiences, whist others had not (Antonovsky A, Maoz B, Dowty N, Wijsenbeek H. Twenty-five years later: A limited study of the sequelae of the concentration camp experience. Social Psychiatry. 1971).

Antonovsky became focussed on nature of stress agents, how they are managed and their impact on health. Central to his model were the concepts of the Sense of Coherence and the General Resistance Resources, aoungst others.

Sense of Coherence describes the ability a person has to manage their resources to cope with the various stressors of life, and a way of viewing or perceiving life as being:

* Comprehensible: “The stimuli deriving from one’s internal and external environments in the course of living are structured, predictable and explicable”
* Manageable: “The resources are available to one to meet the demands posed by the stimuli”
* Meaningful: “These demands are challenges, worthy of investment and engagement”

General Resistance Resources, differ in that they are '"the biological, material and psychosocial factors that make it easier for people to perceive life as understandable, structured and consistent.” for example money, kinowledge and intelligence, experience, self-esteem, healthy behaviour, social support, ego / identity, commitment and cohesion with one’s cultural roots, cultural stability, ritualistic activities, religion and philosophy (e.g., stable set of answers to life’s perplexities),m genetic factors. and preventive health orientation.

= Applications in architecture =

The use and reference of work applied to architecture and buildings is said to have stemmed from Professor Alan Dilani a global authority on interdisciplinary research regarding the interaction between design and health. He integrated the understanding of how specific environments can promote positive benefits in health and wellbeing to end users, such as staff and patients within a healthcare setting.

The principles of Salutogenic Architecture might include creating environments that are understandable, manageable, and meaningful to their occupants or according to the sense of coherence comprehensible, manageable and meaningful.

* Comprehensibility: Environments should be organised and predictable. Clear way-finding, logical spatial arrangements, and intuitive navigation. Perhaps consistency in materials and spatial coherence.

* Meaningfulness: Environments should resonate on a personal or cultural level, incorporating elements that might be emotionally and culturally significant, allowing personalisation of spaces, such as inclusion of art, and importantly as strong connection to nature (biophilia)

The inclusion of natural elements such as maximising natural daylight and views to the outside, good ventilation and indoor air quality, air circulation and flow. The use of natural materials and introduction of greenery to help reduce stress and improve mental health.

This type of salutogenic architecture fosters community and social connections, by including shared or communal spaces such as courtyards, communal kitchens, and shared workspaces. Good accessibility and inclusivity to encourage social integration and interaction.

Maintaining flexibility and adaptability of spaces to adjust to user needs, such as modular, reconfigurable design elements and multi-functional spaces.

Finally fostering environments that are safe and comfortable, though the selection and use of materials, non-toxic low VOC etc Considering thermal comfort both in terms of air temperature and surface temperature including potential drafts.

The types of buildings that may strictly focus on salutogenesis might be healthcare facilities, hospitals, clinics designed to reduce stress, promote healing, and facilitate positive interactions between patients, staff, and visitors. Workplaces that can enhance productivity, creativity, and well-being through ergonomic design, access to nature, and interaction.Or residential buildings that provide comfort, flexibility, and a connection to nature, supporting the physical and mental health of residents.
