Neuroscience for Architecture

The focus of our domain, Neuroscience for Architecture, is to understand and accommodate the human neural makeup as it interfaces with the built environment in an effort to support human wellbeing and potential.

Our mission is to bring together interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners to explore design decisions, rethink building metrics, and study the experience of space and human impact through the lens of neuroscience. We seek to increase awareness of our practice through collaboration, ideas exchange, innovative research, and publication. Our goal is to support the efforts of individual members, while collaboratively promoting The Centre for Conscious Design.
