Since people use tremendous amount of time indoor, the artificial manmade indoor environment becomes significantly important when improving well-being. Broadly speaking, theorists like Kenneth Frampton, Marco Fascari and architect Peter Zumthor, advocate for an affective atmosphere when addressing the construction through the detail. These architectural positions are to be seen within brackets in an otherwise pulsating, prefabricating, universal field of the profession which is criticised for being vague. By focusing more upon the atmosphere, more upon the detail, and as tectonics facilitating all this, we suppose to get much more valuable architecture.
Depression was predicted to be the highest-ranking cause of burden of disease. Although not all stress patients end up with having depression, updated sources substantiate that stress still is an increasing social burden of disease. Stress comes in various forms and is very subjective according to psychical and mental impact, but architecture may promote health and well-being, and help prevent stress from being a threat and having further-increasing societal costs (WHO, 2001).
In 2014 the Danish Government agreed on a Climate Law that today consists of a 70% reduction of carbon dioxide emission - referred to 1990 - by 2030 and totally neutrality by 2050. In 2019, the carbon dioxide emission from the four phases: Production, transport, demolition and waste management of building supplies caused 11% of the total global emission (Danskbyggeri.dk). Therefore, architectural engineers have an important role in finding a sustainable solution for CO2 reduction of the four phases.
Figure 4 People in Europe, Canada and North America spend 50-85% of time indoor (Fich, 2014).
Figure 5 Stress statistics
30.000 a year hospitalized due to stress. 250.000-300.000 suffers from severe stress. 35.000 daily absence due to bad mental work environment resulting in stress, burnout and depression.
2050 = 0%
2030=30%
1990 = 100%
