The Science Behind Happy Spaces and Biophilia, Buildings, and your Brain

“Is your workplace making you dumb? Literally, is the space where you work impairing your cognitive abilities? What if the conditions in your building actually improved your cognitive function, reduced your stress, and enhanced your creativity? Emerging science indicates that it is possible to design spacesthat improve these responses. Recent studies in neuroscience, endocrinology, environmental psychology, and other related fields are revealing how the spaces where we work and live can deeply affect our health. Armed this new information, we can conscientiously design spaces that boost productivity and support well-being.”
