The Challenge of Adapting Neuroscience to the Needs of Architecture

This presentation introduces a threefold distinction within Neuroscience for Architecture (NfA): the neuroscience of the experience of architecture, the neuroscience of design for architecture, and neuromorphic architecture. The exposition of these approaches is framed by a discussion of key aspects of neuroscience to give a sense of the levels of analysis involved, and is applied to architectural analysis within the context of library design.
