In Espacio, cuerpo y mente, Ana Mombiedro explores the intersection of architecture, neuroscience, and psychology to reveal how built spaces influence physiological, cognitive, and socio-emotional health. The book offers a profound and captivating perspective on the value of neuroarchitecture, demonstrating that the design of a place can enhance one's sense of well-being.
From studies on the importance of natural light in patient recovery to analyses of how enriched environments influence neurogenesis and behavior, the author argues that architecture—beyond its dual nature as both art and technical science—possesses a humanistic dimension when informed by the principles of neuroscience. By integrating knowledge from various disciplines, this text envisions a future where architecture, in addition to its inherent aesthetic and functional requirements, actively promotes health and well-being.
