The United States experienced a series of devastating natural disasters in 2024, including catastrophic hurricanes on the Gulf Coast, record-breaking tornado outbreaks in the Midwest, and relentless flooding across the Northeast. These events culminated in the recent wildfires in California, which scorched vast areas at an alarming pace. Climate change’s role in amplifying these disastersContinueContinue reading “The Reality of Climate Change: How It Fuels Wildfires”

Diseño Emocional: Curvas vs. Ángulos
Numerosos estudios han demostrado consistentemente que las formas arquitectónicas curvas evocan respuestas emocionales más positivas en comparación con los diseños angulares. Estas formas curvas suelen asociarse con sensaciones de confort, seguridad y serenidad, mientras que las angulares, por el contrario, tienden a generar percepciones de amenaza o incomodidad. Este fenómeno destaca la relevancia de integrarContinueContinue reading “Diseño Emocional: Curvas vs. Ángulos”
Neuroarquitectura: creando espacios que inspiran asombro y contemplación
Durante milenios, los arquitectos han diseñado intuitivamente espacios sagrados para evocar experiencias emocionales y espirituales profundas. Ahora, la vanguardia de la investigación en neurociencia está iluminando los fundamentos biológicos de cómo estos entornos inspiradores afectan nuestros cerebros y cuerpos. Este campo emergente de la neuroarquitectura ofrece perspectivas emocionantes para diseñar espacios que fomenten la contemplación,ContinueContinue reading “Neuroarquitectura: creando espacios que inspiran asombro y contemplación”
Neuroarchitecture : Creating Awe-Inspiring Spaces
For millennia, architects have intuitively designed sacred spaces to evoke profound emotional and spiritual experiences. Now, cutting-edge neuroscience research is shedding light on the biological underpinnings of how these awe-inspiring environments affect our brains and bodies. This emerging field of neuroarchitecture offers exciting insights for designing spaces that encourage contemplation, awe, and transcendence. Angkor WatContinueContinue reading “Neuroarchitecture : Creating Awe-Inspiring Spaces”
The Emotional Impact of Curved vs. Angular Designs
Research consistently shows that curved architectural forms tend to evoke more positive emotional responses compared to angular designs. Curved shapes are associated with feelings of comfort, safety, and pleasantness, while angular shapes may induce a sense of threat or unease. AI-generated image showcasing how curved spaces can evoke comfort and positivity, enhancing emotional well-being throughContinueContinue reading “The Emotional Impact of Curved vs. Angular Designs”
Cómo la altura del techo influye en la creatividad y la concentración
La neuroarquitectura es un campo interdisciplinario que combina neurociencia y arquitectura para estudiar cómo los entornos construidos impactan la función cerebral humana, el comportamiento y el bienestar. Su objetivo es crear espacios que mejoren los procesos cognitivos, los estados emocionales y la salud en general, aplicando conocimientos científicos sobre las respuestas neuronales a elementos arquitectónicosContinueContinue reading “Cómo la altura del techo influye en la creatividad y la concentración”
How Ceiling Height Influences Creativity and Focus
Neuroarchitecture is an interdisciplinary field that combines neuroscience and architecture to study how built environments impact human brain function, behaviour, and well-being. It aims to create spaces that enhance cognitive processes, emotional states, and overall health by applying scientific insights about neural responses to architectural elements like light, colour, spatial layout or the height ofContinueContinue reading “How Ceiling Height Influences Creativity and Focus”
Designing Spaces for Autism: Strategies for Inclusivity
In 1998, geneticist Fred Gage discovered that the adult brain continues to produce new neurons, challenging the long-held belief that brain growth ceases after a certain age. Furthermore, it was revealed that the brain can adapt and change its structure throughout our lives. These groundbreaking findings sparked Gage’s interest in exploring how our environment shapesContinueContinue reading “Designing Spaces for Autism: Strategies for Inclusivity”
Tendencias actuales que marcarán la educación del arquitecto del futuro
Es arriesgado tratar de predecir con precisión a qué se enfrentarán los arquitectos en 5 años. Sin embargo, es obvio que algo muy drástico necesita cambiar ahora. Y es que, según datos de las Naciones Unidas, la industria de la construcción representa entre el 37% y el 40% de CO₂, que es uno de losContinueContinue reading “Tendencias actuales que marcarán la educación del arquitecto del futuro”
Current trends that will shape the education of the architect of the future
It is risky and difficult to try to predict accurately what future architects will have to face in 5 years. However, it is obvious that something very drastically needs to change now. Figures provide the most compelling insights, and it is widely acknowledged that the construction industry accounts for between 37% and 40% of CO2,ContinueContinue reading “Current trends that will shape the education of the architect of the future”
