Ann Sussman & Abigail Sekely

Ann Sussman and Abigail Sekely explore a 21st-century paradigm shift in architecture, focusing on the age of biology. They delve into how advancements in neuroscience and biometric tools, like eye-tracking and facial expression analysis, are revealing how people unconsciously experience the built environment.

Sussman and Sekely showcase compelling studies, including insights from the "Oslo Study," demonstrating how traditional architecture consistently garners more positive attention and emotional responses compared to modern designs. Learn about the impact of architectural detail on human perception, navigation, and even well-being, as they discuss the biological reasons behind our innate responses to different building styles. This talk challenges conventional architectural education and emphasizes the importance of designing with the "feeling brain" in mind to create spaces that foster connection and enhance human experience.
