I am Dr. Parul Minhas, an accomplished author and the Director of Research and Digital Innovation at Education Design International (EDI). Alongside visionary school architect Prakash Nair, I have co-authored influential books such as "A New Language of School Design" and the upcoming "Building Minds," set for release in October 2024. These publications reflect my deep commitment to rethinking educational environments and have significantly impacted the industry's understanding of school design.My journey into the realm of children's well-being and educational environments deepened with the birth of my son, who is now a teenager. Observing his growth and learning experiences has been both an inspiration and a driving force behind my dedication to creating healthier, more effective learning spaces for all children. My research focuses on salutogenic design, neuroarchitecture, health-promoting school environments, and biophilic learning spaces, which testify to my commitment to holistic health and educational innovation.Beyond my research, I've developed an extensive set of design guidelines and assessment tools that are invaluable for architects aiming to design educational facilities that contribute positively to children’s overall health. I also manage EDI’s suite of technology tools, including innovative apps like SPACE, PATH, and EduSPACE, channeling my expertise into digital innovation.Having taught architecture for several years, I bring a unique blend of skills as a research architect, educator, author, content creator, conscious parent, and above all, a compassionate human being. This combination enhances my ability to make a meaningful impact on the future of educational design and children's well-being.I am frequently invited to speak at national and international conferences to share the insights and findings propelling my career. I also lead EDI's strategic communications, ensuring our groundbreaking initiatives reach a global audience.
