E23. Designing Eudaimonia using Architecture, Engineering, and the Built Environ | Dr Jenna Mikus

Welcome to Researching Happy with Dr Matthew Iasiello This is the weekly podcast all about the stories behind the studies of the happiness and wellbeing research world.  Welcome to Episode 23. This is an exciting example of us learning about efforts to improve wellbeing coming from other fields than psychology - this time from architecture and the built environment.  Today we welcome Dr Jenna Mikus, who uses her education and years of experience in engineering, architecture, and design to curate environments and experiences for flourishing, and her PhD was focused on understanding how to design for Eudaimonic wellbeing in the built environment. In her PhD research, Dr Mikus sought to gain this understanding by co-designing with older adults, within the context of their home environment.  Her research resulted in a Eudaemonic Design framework with design guidelines that will characterise Eudaemonia-supportive environments for older adults which of course can be instructive for other demographics.
