meeting in the field of neuroscience

After I handed in my thesis, I got an email from Kristina Sahlqvist, who was interested in meeting me... When I searched her works I was inspired at her works and contribution to design with focus on brain and neuroscience, and I was more than surprised that how we ever met earlier and discussed our topics together. Anyway it was really interesting in meeting her, and it was delighting to talk with someone with the same language of this new field.
Moreover she talked about her projects, we agreed upon to bring togerher our skills and spread the knowledge and awareness to healthcare in architecture, interior and industrial design.



Here you can check some products that they have designed for the rehabilitation center, (within a research project run by Michael Nilsson , from Sahlgrenska). If you will carefully the details of the products you see that there is an intensive research background behind every single curve :

Östra Sjukhuset psychiatry clinic in Göteborg, is designed by White Arkitekter, and opened in 2006. It doesn't give the classic image of a clinic, and also as mentioned in White.se, the healing environment was thought to be important for s healing process, so they thought about working on a pleasant design from patient's view. The building g received Forum for Healthcare Building Research’s Healthcare Award 2007 also nominated for Healthcare Buildings. www.white.se http://www.worldarchitecturenews.com/index.php?fuseaction=wanappln.projectview&upload_id=11558 Since I am going to meet Michael Nilsson next week to get information on neurology and rehabilitering, I simply didn't want to bother doctors in the psychiatry clinic today asking questions like what are your treatments.. how do you threat.. why like that... I am keeping these questions for my second visit (hopefully) So as for the building, the architects achieved the openness and closeness very well with t...

Neuroscience of the design process

We know (or feel?) that built spaces can have a profound impact on our well-being. But have you ever wondered why certain designs have such a powerful effect on our emotions and perceptions? Enter mirror neurons, the unsung heroes of the neuroscience behind the design process. These specialized brain cells fire not only when we perform an action, but also when we observe someone else performing that same action. In other words, they allow us to mentally simulate the experiences of others. When it comes to design, mirror neurons play a crucial role in our response to visual stimuli. They enable us to empathize with the spaces and objects around us, allowing us to feel connected and engaged with our environment. Think about it - when you see a beautifully designed room or an aesthetically pleasing piece of art, your mirror neurons are firing away, mirroring the pleasure and appreciation experienced by the designer. This neural mirroring is what creates that sense of harmony and resona...
