The secret art of furnishing your happiness: making things more difficult on yourself so that you remain alert as you navigate an unusual environment. Reversibledestiny.org are the pioneers of using architecture to promote longer life. For the rest of us we think in terms of ease and comfort but a long period of time experiencing ease and comfort can have degenerative effects. What I like about their work is what is most often overlooked how the design of the interior will be experienced and will benefit the inhabitants. Id like to see a virtual reality simulation of random selection so that when you enter a room there is the possibility that it is rearranged.
