Since the origin of the Modern Movement, there has been a basic commitment to improving housing conditions and the well-being of occupants, especially given the prediction that 2/3 of humanity will reside in cities by 2050. Moreover, a compact model of the city with tall buildings and urban densification at this scale will be generated. Continuous constructive and technological advances have developed solid foundations on safety, energy efficiency, habitability, and sustainability in housing design. However, studies on improving the quality of life in these areas continue to be a challenge for architects and engineers. This paper seeks to contribute health-related information to the study of residential design, specifically the influence of the geomagnetic field on its occupants. After compiling information on the effects of geomagnetic fields from different medical studies over 23 years, a case study of a 16-story high-rise building is presented, with the goal of proposing architectural design recommendations for long-term occupation in the same place. The purpose of the present work is three-fold: first, to characterize the geomagnetic field variability of buildings; second, to identify the causes and possible related mechanisms; and third, to define architectural criteria on the arrangement of uses and constructive elements for housing.
自现代运动起源以来，人们就一直致力于改善住房条件和居住者的福祉，特别是因为预计到 2050 年，将有 2/3 的人类居住在城市。此外，这种城市的紧凑模式将产生高楼和城市密度的增加。在住房设计方面，不断的建设性和技术进步为安全性、能源效率、宜居性和可持续性奠定了坚实的基础。然而，提高这些领域生活质量的研究仍然是建筑师和工程师面临的挑战。本文旨在为住宅设计研究提供与健康相关的信息，特别是地磁场所对居住者的影响。在收集了 23 年来不同医学研究中关于地磁场所影响的信息后，本文提出了一个 16 层高楼的案例研究，旨在为长期居住在同一地点提出建筑设计建议。本工作的目的有三：首先，描述建筑物中地磁场所的变化性；其次，确定原因和可能的相关机制；最后，确定住房使用和建筑元素的安排方面的建筑标准。
