Something in common??

I was dropping something off at the boss' desk this afternoon when I caught sight of the current issue of the AIA Journal of Architecture. Flipping through the Journal, I happened upon this article.

Imagine that, The Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture!!!!! Nueroscience and architecture finally coming together. Architects starting to tap into the vast array of knowledge that the field of nueroscience has to offer. Perhaps there could be a project for me and Lisa to collaborate professionally and tie our respective professional fields together? Perhaps we have too many other projects right now? Need to read up on it a little more and get in contact with these people.

Wow!!!

They sure did raid the faculty in southern california. Recognize probably 60-70% of the neuroscience folk. They are heavy hitters in the neuroscience field. With the exception of Gage and Searle, I was surpised to see a few of them on here though.

Loved how architects don't have generate any 'data' or 'information'. All in all, very strange. I see their point, but in a strange and convoluted way.

"Decisions of the built environment ultimately lie with developers, bankers, clients, and government officials," the understatement of the millenium!

Until that changes, collaborations are limited by architects designing the mazes for mouse experiments or neuroscientists will have to create a beaurocratic mind control device that will allow architects to "aspire" more.

Check out the works of Andres Duany for more on the psychological factors of sprawl.

Thanks for the read!
