Architecture and the Brain

John Eberhard, who is the founding president of the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture, recently wrote a book on neuroscience and architecture intended for architects. The book is titled, Architecture and the Brain: A New Knowledge Base from Neuroscience. I am really curious to hear what people think about the book.

Neuro-architecture: One Person's View

Forward is the quarterly journal of the American Institute of Architects National Associates Committee. In the October 2006 issue on technology in architecture, there was an article on the neuroscience and architecture initiative titled, "A Legacy of Service." With such an unassuming title, one would not immediately make the connection between neuro-architecture and service (to the architecture profession and society), but the content tells a different story. It is one person's perspective on neuro-architecture.
