“

The greatest achievement is selflessness.
The greatest worth is self-mastery.
The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.
The greatest precept is continual awareness.
The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
The greatest magic is transmuting the passions.
The greatest generosity is non-attachment.
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.
The greatest patience is humility.
The greatest effort is not concerned with results.
The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.
The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.

The City of New York works to contribute to the development of a healthier metropolis by providing new public spaces, making improvements for pedestrians and bicycles, and promoting healthier buildings. The NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC), responsible for civic projects including libraries, firehouses and senior centers, is a leader and advocate for a healthier city by design.

The DDC recently created a book to share the theory and strategy behind large civic achievements with architects, designers and planners for implementation on all manner of projects regardless of scale. Designed by Pentagram’s Luke Hayman and Shigeto Akiyama, Active Design Guidelines: Promoting Physical Activity and Health in Design addresses the 21st-century health concerns of obesity and related chronic diseases and provides resources for the design community.

“If architecture is going to nudge, cajole, and inspire a community to challenge the status quo into making responsible changes, it will take the subversive leadership of academics and practitioners who keep reminding students of the profession’s responsibilities.”
