Health has become a central concern in architecture, planning, and design, driven by a growing awareness of how the built environment influences physical, mental, social, and environmental well-being. In 2025, this awareness moved beyond specialized building types or performance metrics and became central to architectural decision-making, informing how spaces are conceived, built, and inhabited across diverse contexts. Architects are no longer treating health as an external requirement but as an integral condition of everyday life.

In horror fiction, a zombie is a human ghost or spirit "somewhere between living and dead, puppeted by external forces".

This concept may extend to humans being susceptible to 'zombie bugs'.

I have long sponsored local events like this one, because I believe they not only help improve the quality of life for the people who live in the area, but also because I believe they teach important lessons about the importance of working together toward a common goal that enhances everyone's day-to-day life.
