Ann Sussman, an architect and author of Cognitive Architecture, teams up with Kelsey Bradley, Executive Director of HAPI, to explore the intersection of neuroscience and design. They discuss how our 'Stone Age brains' react to modern environments, emphasizing the profound impact of space on mental health and emotional well-being. With insights into biometrics like eye tracking and heart rate variability, they reveal why some places invigorate us while others drain our energy. The conversation challenges current design practices, advocating for a more human-centric approach to architecture.
