About

Longevity Architecture exists to document, organize, and make accessible the growing body of evidence connecting built environment design to human health outcomes. It serves as a reference for architects, developers, health practitioners, researchers, and homeowners seeking to understand how the spaces in which people live and work affect biological function across the lifespan.

The site is structured around nine core pillars of environmental influence on human biology: light, air, water, acoustics, thermal conditions, materials, electromagnetic exposure, spatial design, and perceptual safety. Each pillar is grounded in peer-reviewed research and presented with the intent of accessibility without oversimplification.

The goal is not to promote a product, a brand, or a methodology. It is to provide a credible, well-organized, and continuously updated resource that treats the relationship between architecture and health with the seriousness it deserves.

Longevity Architecture operates as an independent editorial and educational resource. It is not affiliated with any product, consultancy, or commercial brand, and it does not sell services, programs, or physical goods. No content on this site is sponsored, and no editorial decisions are influenced by commercial relationships.

All claims are grounded in peer-reviewed research, and citations are provided for independent verification. Where evidence is emerging, uncertain, or contested, this is stated explicitly. The editorial standard is accuracy and intellectual honesty, not advocacy.

Kas Bordier serves as Editor-at-Large, contributing to the intellectual direction and editorial standards of the site. This role encompasses the curation of content, the identification of relevant research, and the maintenance of editorial quality across all published material.

The site is designed so that the field comes first and the ideas outlast any individual. Attribution reflects responsibility, not ownership. The editorial structure is intended to remain credible, neutral, and authoritative regardless of how individual roles may evolve in the future.

The site is organized to serve readers at different levels of familiarity with the field. The Science of Space section provides comprehensive coverage of the nine core pillars. Design Principles translates evidence into architectural decision-making frameworks. Research and Evidence offers summaries of key studies with full citations. Applications explores how longevity design manifests across building typologies.

The Glossary defines the vocabulary of the field. Essays offer editorial perspectives on broader questions. Resources provides a curated collection of books, papers, standards, and tools for further study.

This is a living reference. Its structure is designed to accommodate new research, evolving standards, and deepening understanding over time. Content is provided for educational purposes. Consult qualified professionals for project-specific guidance.
