William White-Howe - SALUTOGENESIS

This project aims to tackle the subject of poor public health using a ‘salutogenic’ approach. This is a medical approach focusing on factors that support human health and well-being, rather than on factors that cause disease. Creating a public building that acts as the precursor to a hospital by allowing people to prevent and treat ill health themselves. The proposal speculates on measures that could help reduce strain on NHS resources. This is a typology of a publicly funded building that currently does not exist within the UK and thus precedents are difficult to find. As such, the project theorises the type and conditions a building of this type could achieve. Through the creation of nodes targeting 4 main subcategories of wellness; Mental, Physical, Holistic and Social wellness the proposal creates intermediary access to healthcare, reducing stigma and promoting positive selfdevelopment.

Glasgow once had a reputation for growing seasonal fresh produce. There were at least six productive market gardens in Grahamston, and many breweries, granaries, bakeries and orchards. I have designed a primary school which aims to teach kids about the environment through a climate curriculum which involves learning plant cultivation to produce food and medicine as a skill towards a sustainable future. From a legacy perspective, the climate school is part of a vision reimagining Calton as a self-sufficient circular economy repurposing vacant and derelict sites for urban farming.
