Understanding Neuro-Environments is a 4-day workshop comprising lectures and discussions by distinguished neuroscientists and designers exploring ideas relating neuroscience to architecture. Workshop begins with a talk by Dr. Kristine Mun, Gabi Sartori and Priscilla Bencke, and will continue with the course entitled “Awakening to the Environment” developed by NeuroArq which introduces the relationship between human beings and their environment. In order to design more human-centered environments, it is first necessary to have a self-perception of how environments impact us. The main goal of this workshop is to identify the environment, the activity performed on it, and the quality of the lived experiences, their well-being, and possible feelings triggered during this process, identifying the perception of the environment based on 7 environmental variables: COLORS, AROMAS, SOUNDS, SHAPES, BIOPHILIA, LIGHTING AND TEMPERATURE, PERSONALIZATION: FUNCTIONAL NEEDS (USABILITY) to identify through the awakening of sensations, emotions, and perceptions the impact of the environment, be it positive, neutral or negative. The results can help us to focus on project solutions in a more assertive way.
