Rosan Bosch La madre de todas las innovadoras

Designing for a better world starts at school: Rosan Bosch at TEDxIndianapolis

the colourful and imaginative interior design for the Swedish Vittra schools has become famous around the world. Rosan Bosch is also widely renowned for her playful and unconventional design solutions created for a range of different customers such as LEGO, Copenhagen University, as well as the Danish Government. Currently Rosan Bosch Studio is working on a large school project for the Sheikh Zayed Academy in Abu Dhabi.

From the Campfire to the Holodeck: Creating Engaging and Powerful 21st Century Learning Environments

Four “primordial learning spaces”:

The Campfire: the traditional lecture or storytelling style of teaching;

The Watering Hole: the social learning that happens when we discuss concepts with each other;

The Cave: the quiet reflection we do on our own;

Life: the application and transfer of knowledge.

Gaston Bachelard La Poética del Espacio 1957

Beloved and contemplated by philosophers, architects, writers, and literary theorists alike, this book examines the places in which we place our conscious and unconscious thoughts and guides us through a stream of cerebral meditations on poetry, art, and the blooming of consciousness itself.

Stewart Brand How Buildings Learn: What Happens After They’re Built 1995

All buildings are forced to adapt over time because of physical deterioration, changing surroundings and the life within–yet very few buildings adapt gracefully, according to Brand. Houses, he notes, respond to families’ tastes, ideas, annoyance and growth; and institutional buildings change with expensive reluctance and delay; while commercial structures have to adapt quickly because of intense competitive pressures

a building can «grow» and should be treated as a «Darwinian mechanism,» something that adapts over time to meet certain changing needs.

Photo spreads with smart and chatty captions trace the evolutions of buildings as they adopt new «skins.» Pointedly, architects Sir Richard Rogers (designer of the Pompidou Centre in Paris) and I.M. Pei (the Wiesner Building, aka the Media Lab at MIT) are taken to task for designing monumental flops that deny occupants’ needs.

He lives with his wife in a converted tugboat and houses his library in a metal self-storage container. Here, as throughout, Brand’s self-reliant voice rings true–that of an engaging, intellectual crank.

NEUROCIENCIAS

Ann Sussman, Justin B Hollander Cognitive Architecture Designing for How We Respond to the Built Environment

1 Edges Matter, the fact people are a thigmotactic or a ‘wall-hugging’ species;
2 Patterns Matter, how we are visually-oriented;
3 Shapes Carry Weight, how our preference for bilateral symmetrical forms is biological;
4 Storytelling is Key, how our narrative proclivities, unique to our species, play a role in successful place-making.

the more we understand human behavior, the better we can design for it.

Harry Francis Mallgrave The Architect’s Brain: Neuroscience, Creativity, and Architecture 2011

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

Harry Francis Mallgrave Architecture and Embodiment: The Implications of the New Sciences and Humanities for Design

If the biological and technological breakthroughs are promising benefits such as extended life expectancies, these same discoveries also have the potential to improve in significant ways the quality of our built environments

Constructed as a series of five essays around the themes of beauty, culture, emotion, the experience of architecture, and artistic play,

we should turn our focus away from the objectification of architecture (treating design as the creation of objects) and redirect it back to those for whom we design: the people inhabiting our built environments.

Sarah Robinson (Editor), Juhani Pallasmaa (Editor) Mind in Architecture: Neuroscience, Embodiment, and the Future of Design 2015

Although we spend more than ninety percent of our lives inside buildings, we understand very little about how the built environment affects our behavior, thoughts, emotions, and well-being.

what architecture and neuroscience can learn from each other.

Un seminario en ETH Zurich

Cognition in Architecture – Designing Orientation and Navigation for Building Users

Taking the perspectives of the building users (occupants and visitors) is vital for a human-centered design approach. Students will learn about relevant theory and methods in cognitive science and environmental psychology that can be used to address human cognitive and behavioral needs in built environments.
