Jenny Roe is an Environmental Psychologist at the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) where she researches the way places impact on how we feel. She studies our physiological responses to different settings, using biomarkers of wellbeing such as cortisol – the stress hormone.
“I became interested in this research while working in architecture where I witnessed the restorative effect of well-designed space on people's wellbeing and particularly their recovery in hospital settings.”
