The EpiCentre Project

Have you ever felt trapped/ oppressed in a long narrow corridor? Or a low ceiling windowless room? Conversely, have you ever felt a surge of awe walking through an abundantly lit building with flickering sun rays? Or a massive ancient cathedral? These experiences lay at the heart of the emerging field of Neuro-Architecture..

“Like earthquakes, neuroarchitecture could disrupt today’s understanding of design, and test its limits, yet open our eyes to a broader perspective from which design principles can evolve. The concept of neuroarchitecture will be the 'EpiCentre' of acceleration toward a human-centric, sustainable environment.”
