DISSERTATION ON:

ACTIVE LIVING ARCHITECTURE COMPILED BY: RITIKA BHA BHATIA TIA

WHAT WHAT IS ACTIVE LIVING LIVING DESIGN?  Active Living Design is the theory that: “ the design of the built environment has a direct impact on public health, and specifically today’s public health epidemics of obesity and related chronic diseases.” •

Active living refers to opportnities for incorporating  physica! activity into the rotines of "ai!y !ife# as $e!! as for sport an" recreation% •

EXAMPLES OF ACTIVE LIVING INCLUDE : •
