COLLABORATION

Urban Movement = Pedestrian Studio + Inform Design

What are we doing? -- Creating design teams for Urban Movement; inclusive of architects, designers, planners, government agencies and cities. These designs explode the gym/our time at yoga throughout our daily lives. The designs embed movement and health into the design of our home, our offices, our cities, private and public spaces.

Today, many of us are over-stressed, over-worked, our sympathetic nervous system is over-taxed. What we need is both movement to keep our blood circulating, to remove unwanted toxins from our body, while also taking moments of deep relaxation, to relax and nurture our parasympathetic nervous system to maintain a healthy balance while we move through our day and the city. These designs choreograph healthy movement sequences, integrated into the patterns of our daily life.

How does this design change our lives? -- Movement is life. Working with the root cause rather than the symptom, we work on teams to design healthy environments to ensure human sustainability. Healthy movement and relaxation, ultimately leads to reduced health care costs and energizes people as they move through their day, engaging their environment in proactive healthy living.
