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.

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”
Embracing Neurodiversity in the Workplace
Neurodivergence refers to differences in neurological functioning that deviate from what is considered typical or “neurotypical.” This term encompasses various conditions such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, dyscalculia, and Tourette syndrome, among others. An inclusive environment where cognitive diversity is embraced translates into a productive and dynamic workplace, offering greater competitive advantagesContinueContinue reading “Embracing Neurodiversity in the Workplace”
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”
