Neuro-Architecture & Psychology of Spaces

Understanding brain stimulations and their repercussions is the cornerstone of user-centered design. Architects, together with psychologists & neuroscientists, capitalise on this knowledge to scale up buildings that promote holistic reciprocities. Neuroarchitecture looks in to what an office, a school, a hospital, or a house should be like in order to make us feel the right emotions in specific places. It also goes to contribute to the overall mental & psychological well-being. Topics covered in this module:

• Sensation and perception

• Learning and memory
