健康是幸福的契機，建築是實現幸福的橋樑。隨著全球陷入能源危機，地球永續已成為國際重視的議題，同時也因為疫情的衝擊，讓人們更加重視健康這項議題。在這場大變局中，「建築」扮演著塑造我們生活環境的關鍵角色。建築不僅是提供我們居所的空間，更是影響生活品質、身心健康的元素。而這種影響力，需要以更專業、深度的角度來理解。▶何謂健康建築？健康建築的概念由國際健康建築研究所（International WELL Building Institute簡稱IWBI）於2004年推出一套健康建築標準，提出全球不同類別的健康建築設計準則，以醫學研究為準則，從人的健康系統需求對應建築物設計來提升空間舒適感。本書由健康建築發展內涵到國際發展趨勢，再延伸至健康建築的相關領域，最後邁向幸福健築，完整介紹健康建築的發展與趨勢。

First flown in 1940, the prototype Vought F4U Corsair instantly became the fastest fighter in the world and the fastest US aircraft of any description. Powered by a huge 18-cylinder Pratt and Whitney Double Wasp engine driving an enormous 13 feet 4 inch propeller, the first Corsairs were capable of 417mph. This figure would rise to nearly 450mph in later versions.Production began in 1941, not only by Vought but also by Goodyear and Brewster, and the F4U entered service with the US Navy in September 1942. The aircraft subsequently came to be extensively used from land and sea by the US Marines, Royal Navy and Royal New Zealand Air Force. Famous squadrons like VMF-214 'The Black Sheep' and VF-17 'Jolly Rogers', along with many others, maintained total ascendancy over the Japanese for the rest of the war - a remarkable achievement for a single type.After the Second World War the Corsair remained in production and was used with distinction by the French in Indo-China and again by the US Na
