December Themed Reading: Designing Spaces & Human Well-being!

This winter, we’re turning our focus to “The Great Indoors: The Surprising Science of How Buildings Shape Our Behavior, Health, and Happiness” by Emily Anthes, proudly sponsored by AIA Cincinnati.

“The Great Indoors” explores how the spaces we inhabit influence our well-being, behaviors, and emotions. Anthes reveals the science behind our built environments and offers insights into creating healthier and more harmonious indoor spaces—perfectly aligned with the cozy winter months when we spend more time indoors.

For a complete reading experience, pair it with:

  • Hot Peppermint Mocha  – A soothing and energizing blend to warm your indoor moments.
  • Chai Latte  – Spiced and comforting, reflecting the complexity of indoor environments.
  • Cranberry Spritzer  – Festive and refreshing, adding a holiday touch to your reading.
