Wellbeing, Sustainability, Empathy and Design
Episode 3
Thursday, 21 May, 2026
In this episode of Beyond These Spaces podcast, host Christine Espinosa-Erlanda, Associate Director, Godwin Austen Johnson is joined by Sandra Woodall, Design Principal at Tangram MENA, to explore the role of wellbeing, sustainability and empathy in shaping the built environment. The conversation moves beyond aesthetics to examine how design directly impacts human health, behaviour and experience, from light and air quality to biophilia and spatial flow. Together, they highlight why true design success lies in creating environments that respond to real human needs. From cities and workplaces to healthcare and education, the episode underscores design as a form of public health infrastructure, where sustainability and wellbeing are inseparable. At its core, this is a conversation about responsibility and the power of empathy to create spaces that help people feel, live and function better. A must-listen for architects, designers and anyone interested in human-centric design.
