Why do we behave differently in a crowded restaurant than in a cathedral at sunset? Why do teenagers and older adults require different environments to feel at ease? It is because an invisible dialogue exists between our bodies and our surroundings. This shift in perspective is what the author defines as neuroarchitecture.
The reality we inhabit is a shifting compendium of sensations that depends not only on tangible factors—such as materials, forms, or the people around us—but also on intangible elements like air quality, sound, humidity, and visual connections. By understanding the impact that built space has on our construction of reality, we can better grasp one of the most remarkable mechanisms of the human mind: learning.
This engaging and educational essay helps us discover how to improve our quality of life through space. It is the first book in Spanish on neuroarchitecture and the first to approach this burgeoning field from a popular science perspective.
