We're facing an unprecedented crisis of connection in our communities. While we've become more digitally linked than ever before, genuine human connection is becoming increasingly rare. As a design professional, you hold extraordinary power to address this crisis through the spaces you create. Your buildings don't just house activities; they shape the social patterns that determine whether communities thrive or struggle. Consider this: every time someone feels isolated in a building you designed, or conversely, every time strangers become friends because of how you arranged spaces, you've directly impacted human well-being. The stakes have never been higher, and the opportunity to make a positive difference has never been greater. This course will equip you with the knowledge and tools to ensure your designs contribute to healthier, more connected communities.
