environments that challenge

Arakawa and Gins challenge the value  environments that are easily accessible by asserting that health and wellbeing is maintained by living in more challenging environments.  They collaborated to create a variety of environments that use features including vibrant colour, obstacles and uneven floors to create barriers in the environment as a deliberate means to challenge the user. Their thesis : Reversible Destinies, asks Could Architecture Help You Live Forever? proposes  that by stimulating our senses to a conscious experience,  architecture can be a means to extend life indefinitely.
