Neurociência e espaços interiores
Junte-se a nós neste webinar com dois especialistas: Colin Ellard e Kay Sargent irão abordar o tema do cérebro humano e os métodos da neurociência que podemos usar para criar melhores ambientes.
On average, we spend almost 90% of our time in interior spaces such as homes, offices and public spaces. The physiological impact of these spaces surrounding us can have an impact on our health and well-being as well. Therefore it is vital that work and living environments are well attuned to our individual sensory experience.
How can one find out what works for one person and what works for another? How can we find an average divisor for an indoor climate that works well for almost everyone? And what are important pillars within the design process, if the brain responds differently to external stimuli or influences?
These and other questions will be answered in our newest webinar 'How Neuroscience Positively Influences People in Indoor Spaces', which is being held on Tuesday 15 June, 16:00-17:00 CEST (Central European Summer Time).
In this webinar, internationally well-respected experts Colin Ellard (Neuroscientist, author & design consultant) and Kay Sargent (Director of Workplace, HOK Architects) discuss the human brain and the technical methods of neuroscience that give useful insights to create better indoor environments.
Date: 15 June, 2021
Time: 16:00 - 17:00 CEST (Central European Summer Time)
Colin Ellard is a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Waterloo and director of its Urban Realities Laboratory and works at the intersection of urban and architectural design and experimental psychology. He has developed a novel set of methods by which the human response to the built environment can be measured using a toolkit consisting of both traditional psychological methods and sensor-based measurements of physiology and brain function.
He travels widely (until recently!) giving keynotes for groups interested in architecture, design, and planning. Ellard is a member of the advisory committee for the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture, an Urban Design and Mental Health Fellow, a Salzburg Global Fellow and an active participant in the European initiative promoting Baukultur beginning with the Davos Declaration of 2018 and continuing with international efforts to enhance the capacity of the built environment to promote wellness.
Ellard’s most recent book is Places of the Heart (Bellevue Literary Press, 2015).
