Neuroarchitecture and the Potential of the Built Environment for Brain Health and Creativity

Subscriber Access

Nowadays, we spend over 90% of our time indoors, and it is becoming increasingly evident that architecture has a profound influence on our brains and bodies. The interest in comprehending how the environment affects human well-being is on the rise, with a growing number of new studies on this subject emerging each year. Moreover, architecture firms are increasingly enlisting the expertise of researchers and human experience design consultants to explore and optimize these effects.

Architects and scientists are currently pinpointing the environmental factors in optimizing human performance within the built environment. While this research is ongoing, studies have already indicated the potential benefits of "Environmental Enrichment" for brain health based on promising results observed in animals with DNA similar to humans.
