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.
