Cognitive Architecture
Book • 2014
In 'Cognitive Architecture', Ann Sussman explores the profound impact of human biology on our perception and experience of built environments.
Drawing from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and psychology, the book reveals how our brains and bodies are wired to respond to specific spatial configurations and designs.
It examines how elements like light, color, shape, and spatial arrangement influence our emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being.
The book challenges traditional architectural approaches by advocating for evidence-based design that considers the innate human responses to the built world.
By understanding these biological underpinnings, architects and urban planners can create spaces that enhance human comfort, productivity, and social interaction.
Sussman's work provides a compelling argument for integrating cognitive science into the design process, fostering environments that truly resonate with our human nature.
