The Dr. Josh Axe Show How Modern Architecture is OPPRESSING You
Is your environment oppressing you?
On today’s episode, Dr. Josh Axe explores how the structured spaces we inhabit can negatively impact mental health and diminish human dignity.
We’ll uncover how the rise of ubiquitous, utilitarian design in modern architecture parallels declining societal emphasis on meaning, craftsmanship and the human spirit. Dr. Axe traces the shift from awe-inspiring cathedrals to soulless office blocks, probing questions of motivation and morality in the buildings we construct.
Dr. Axe reveals how:
- Modern architectural trends reflect decreased value assigned to human uniqueness
- Declining religious influence relates to minimalist, cookie-cutter built environments
- Natural materials and spaces uplift the human spirit
- Preserving beautiful, meaningful designs counters dehumanization
Tune in as Dr. Josh Axe investigates how to reverse architectural austerity through advocating for nourishing environments that elevate your soul. You’ll walk away reconsidering how buildings betray priorities and how you can promote designs that dignify.
