Speakers will explore ‘embodied cognition’, cognitive architecture, biology, and evolution, as well as new research methods and techniques for using biometrics in urban planning, architecture, and landscape architecture. The design professions and their academic counterparts are in the midst of a transition. Neuroscience, evolutionary biology, psychology, and powerful biometric tools able to measure the human experience of place, provide new methods for understanding, creating and assessing architecture and urban spaces. This conference will bring together creative thinkers from around the world who are helping to shape an evidence-based design practice that embraces the unconscious responses we have to external stimuli.
Researchers, architects, planners, designers, are invited to submit abstracts (200-350 words), summarizing research questions, methods, results, and implications. Include name, email address, and affiliation. Abstracts due November 15, 2018. Notifications will be made December 4, 2018 and papers will be due March 15, 2019. Email abstracts to: Prof. Justin Hollander, justin.hollander@tufts.edu
