•Dignified Design recognizes the role of our built environment in supporting and fostering health—the health of individuals, neighborhoods and communities, and, ideally, all living things. As an ideal, Dignified Design aims to create places that protect, promote, and celebrate the dignity of life. •Dignity in design requires an intentional examination of the human experience—how we process information and connect with the world around us, how we fundamentally seek survival and pleasure in all we do, how we react in the presence of adversity and stress, surprise and delight. And with this understanding comes empathy for what it means to navigate the world as a complex, conscious, affectable human being.•It is time to reframe the narrative to center on health and wholeness, to focus on flourishing and thriving, and to prioritize and stipulate a standard of DIGNITY in all environments. Dignified Design is about health and hope for all of us.
