Generation Alpha, made up of children born from around 2013 onwards, is the first generation to grow up without ever knowing a world without the internet, mobile devices, touch interfaces and intelligent digital systems. For them, technology is not an innovation; it is simply part of the environment they inhabit. This fact alone calls intoContinueContinue reading “Artificial Intelligence and Primary Education: Are We Facing a New Paradigm?”

Tiny Houses: Living Small Between Freedom and Sensory Load
Over the past decade, tiny houses have shifted from an alternative curiosity to an aspirational symbol. Small, tidy, and carefully photographed, they appear to promise a simpler way of living. But when we move beyond the image and consider the body that inhabits these spaces—the brain, the senses, everyday life—the question changes: Can a dwellingContinueContinue reading “Tiny Houses: Living Small Between Freedom and Sensory Load”
Home Design for Neurodivergent People
Although official data on neurodivergence and homelessness remain limited, the available evidence suggests that neurodivergent people —particularly autistic individuals —are disproportionately represented among those experiencing housing insecurity or homelessness in the United Kingdom. The absence of stable housing activates prolonged stress responses, with direct and lasting consequences for mental health. For this reason, the housingContinueContinue reading “Home Design for Neurodivergent People”
Minimal Homes, Maximum Expectations
For many people, searching for a home for the first time is an emotional shock. It is not just a financial decision: it is an unexpected test of what “home” means today. At some point in the process, almost all of us have lived through the same scene. We step into a new flat, followContinueContinue reading “Minimal Homes, Maximum Expectations”
How Neuroarchitecture Can Help the ADHD Mind Thrive
Imagine a typical work morning: you have an urgent report to finish, a list of tasks waiting, and a firm intention to stay focused and make progress. You sit down to work, but a stream of external and internal stimuli begins to interfere: a noise from the street, an intrusive thought, a sudden idea. NothingContinueContinue reading “How Neuroarchitecture Can Help the ADHD Mind Thrive”
Commercial Neuroarchitecture and Neuromarketing
Buying is rarely a neutral act. Even before you see a product or step into a shop —whether physical or online— your brain has already been activated by carefully crafted signals in advertising, branding, and marketing. In physical spaces, this language becomes even more powerful: fragrances that lower your guard, warm lighting that promises reward,ContinueContinue reading “Commercial Neuroarchitecture and Neuromarketing”
The Urgency of Silence: Why Inner Retreat is the Most Necessary Architecture of the 21st Century
In the 1950s, Dr. Jonas Salk—on the verge of creating the polio vaccine—felt completely paralysed. After years of research, exhaustion and global pressure led to an absolute mental block. Exhausted and confused, he made a radical decision: to travel to the Monastery of Assisi, Italy, the home of Saint Francis. There, amidst silent walls, softContinueContinue reading “The Urgency of Silence: Why Inner Retreat is the Most Necessary Architecture of the 21st Century”
Touch: The Silent Sense Behind Neuroarchitecture
The skin is the largest sensory organ of the human body and the first to form during embryonic development. Before opening our eyes or hearing a voice, we can already feel. Every texture, temperature variation, or pressure activates thousands of receptors distributed across the body’s surface; and through them, the skin communicates directly with theContinueContinue reading “Touch: The Silent Sense Behind Neuroarchitecture”
Nature as Therapy: The Brain’s Response
If someone were to ask us to imagine paradise, we would probably picture a place filled with trees, flowers, waterfalls, and beaches. Hardly anyone would think of a concrete jungle. That preference is not accidental: it has deep roots in our brains. Neuroscience shows that our connection with nature stems from a biological need, notContinueContinue reading “Nature as Therapy: The Brain’s Response”
How Does Noise Elevate Your Cortisol? Architecture as a Shield Against Stress.
In a world saturated with stimuli, silence has become a scarce commodity.However, more than a luxury, it is a form of health. Every door slam, every running engine, every plane crossing the sky leaves a mark that we do not always hear, but our nervous system records it. The invisible noise of modern life —constant,ContinueContinue reading “How Does Noise Elevate Your Cortisol? Architecture as a Shield Against Stress.”
