Form Follows Function: Bridging Neuroscience and Architecture
“Primum non nocere”, the guiding principle of medicine credited to Hippocrates, emphatically asks that we first do no harm; our architectural principles must serve the same goal. Yet, too often the form and function of architectural environments neglect to take into account the influence of the built setting on human responses and indeed, on human health itself. How can we assess this influence in an objective, consistent manner? Can we predict what this influence in the early stages of design and before the structure is built? An emerging discipline, one that bridges neuroscience and architecture, is beginning to provide more rigorous methodologies and a growing number of research reports that explores the interaction between brain, body, building, and the environment.
