This episode tackles spaces beyond bricks and mortar – we're venturing into the realm of Neuro-architecture, where buildings resonate with the human mind. Our guest, Sanjotz, dreams of inclusive spaces that cater to neuro-diverse minds. His brainchild, the Senseum museum, uses multi-sensory experiences to create unforgettable journeys. But Neuro-architecture goes beyond museums – it's about understanding how spaces impact our emotions and well-being. Join us as we explore:
Designing for every mind: How Sanjotz envisions a future where buildings work for everyone, not just the average brain.
Beyond sight: Creating spaces that engage sound, touch, and even smell for a truly immersive experience.
Building bridges: Learn how neuroscience and architecture converge in Neuro-architecture.
Learning resources: Discover where you can study Neuro-architecture, like the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture and the Kenya Interior Design School.
Get ready to reimagine buildings as interactive experiences that nurture all minds. This is Tomorrow by Design, where the future is shaped by empathy and understanding.
Key takeaways:
Neuro-architecture designs spaces that consider the diverse needs of our brains.
Multi-sensory experiences can create deeper connections with places.
We can learn to build structures that cater to every mind, just like we build accessible spaces for physical disabilities.
