The Architect's Brain: Neuroscience, Creativity, and Architecture
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, April 2011, Pages: 288
The Architect's Brain: Neuroscience, Creativity, and Architecture is the first book to consider the relationship between the neurosciences and architecture, offering a compelling and provocative study in the field of architectural theory.
- Explores various moments of architectural thought over the last 500 years as a cognitive manifestation of philosophical, psychological, and physiological theory
- Looks at architectural thought through the lens of the remarkable insights of contemporary neuroscience, particularly as they have advanced within the last decade
- Demonstrates the neurological justification for some very timeless architectural ideas, from the multisensory nature of the architectural experience to the essential relationship of ambiguity and metaphor to creative thinking
Reviews:
'Since I studied architecture ... I always heard the diatribe about if architecture is an art or a science, I personally believe is both. If you’re interested in both architecture and science be sure to grab a copy of this interesting book.' (Eclectic Me Blog, April 2010)
'A gripping interpretation of how the latest advances in neuroscience enlarge our understanding of architecture from Alberti’s belief that a building is a ‘form of body’ to the computer whose dominance in architecture Mallgrave challenges.' David Watkin, University of Cambridge
