Episode 4: Space Planning for Veterans with PTSD

In this special Veterans Day episode of The Art & Business of Interior Design, a recent study conducted by researchers at Texas A&M University has examined how architectural design can improve the lives of veterans living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The study interviewed veterans with PTSD to understand how design elements like windows, entrances, hallways, open floor plans, green spaces, and interior design choices affect their well-being. These findings are crucial for designing buildings that are better suited to veterans' needs, helping to create environments that minimize stress and promote a sense of comfort.
