Abstract
Neuroscience tools’ advancements have paved the way for neuroscience and architecture collaboration, spawning ”Neuro-architecture.”
Neuro-architecture studies in various settings have been tentatively translated into design principles to improve the mood, perception, and satisfaction of healthcare facility users, as well as patient wellbeing and recovery rates. Integrating such principles into computational design methodologies should benefit users’ mental health and reduce the gap between computational design and human mental needs.
The research was conducted in two phases: in the first phase, typologies used in evidence- based design research (EBD) were applied in order to determine neuro- architecture design principles for the interior environment of healthcare facilities. In the second phase, quantitative methods for evaluating the application of neuro-architecture design principles to the interior spaces of healthcare facilities were introduced.
The research introduced heuristics for applying neuro-architecture principles in the various spaces of healthcare facilities based on the physio-psychological impact on the facility’s various users. The research also introduced a pre-occupancy computational framework to evaluate the incorporation of certain neuro-architecture principles into the interior environment of healthcare facilities.
