Herrera Environmental Consultants’ Post

🧠 Understanding how our brains respond to different environments can significantly impact architectural design, creating spaces that enhance well-being and overall human experience. Explore the intriguing connection between neuroscience and architecture in this insightful blog post from ArchDaily: https://vist.ly/3dynx

On our new episode, Jarrett Fuller is joined by and Federica Sofia Zambeletti to talk about the origins and evolution of KoozArch, the state of architecture media, and the role of conversation in design discourse. Federica is an architect, researcher, and storyteller. She’s the founder and managing director of KoozArch, an independent publishing platform and research studio that explores architecture beyond the limits of the built form, which she founded in 2014 while she was a student at the Architectural Association. 🎧 Listen to the episode: https://lnkd.in/eWakkqw4

Are we witnessing a groundbreaking fusion of neuroscience and architecture? 🏗️🧠 Uncover the surprising connections with Ayman Ayoub and Fariba Khalvati Beighlie as they explore the fusion of these disciplines. Dive deep into the intersection of minds and structures! See the full video at: https://ytube.io/3qXU #NeuroArchitecture #DesignFusion

The best thing about the Design School is our members. Tomorrow we have a special member-led offering by Chris Diehl, Ph.D. about how technology supports can help us weave regeneration to the scale of entire landscape systems. Here is how he describes the session: "How do our visions of the future change when complex, exploratory questions can be answered instantaneously? We are living through a profound acceleration of computational intelligence and now more than ever, it's imperative to harness these capabilities for planetary regeneration. In this session, I'll make the case for the need to advance the state of the art in sense-making and decision-making tools tailored to surface and pursue high-value opportunities for regeneration. I'll share the story of my own exploration in the context of landscape-scale rehydration and bring you up to the leading edge of the questions I'm holding as this work progresses. This is the first time I've publicly spoken about this work I've been pursuing over the last few years. I will demonstrate a prototype sense-making tool I built to explore U.S. public rangelands data, with a particular emphasis on the social layer within this context."

To Matthew Skelton, using the genotypical design principles and the Participative Design Workshop, it is possible to redesign any size structure from bottom to top, efficiently. These principles and the PDW totally replace all the old thinking and approaches to sociotech. There is a mass of publications documenting all this on www.socialsciencethatactually works.

When filming for Design vs. Build, we always walk away with MOUNTAINS of content. Some of it is project-related, some of it design-related but all of it is interesting. A personal highlight from Season 2: After wrapping our interview about the Burke Museum, the conversation with Tom Kundig shifted to a general discussion of architecture, in which he freely shared his thoughts. Though it didn't make sense for that specific episode, it was too good to leave stored away on the server and not share! #architecture #architecturedesign #olsonkundig #tomkundig

Towards a Process-based Model that incorporates professional practice in the teaching of Architectural Design, with Reference to a Pre-Senior Design Studio

In this talk, Terry Irwin introduces a new area of transdisciplinary problem solving called Transition Design; an emerging approach for framing complex, wicked problems within radically large problem frames. Transition Design argues that wicked problem resolution is a strategy for igniting positive, systems-level change and transitioning our communities, organizations and entire societies toward more equitable, sustainable and desirable long-term futures. The lecture took place at the Transition - Design - Education conference in Prague on 6 May 2022.The conference was organized within the project Transition design: A new challenge for service and interaction design education, which was funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA Grants 2014- 2021, Education Programme. #DesignThinking #SystemsThinking #HumanCentredDesign #ServiceDesign #SystemicDesign #InnovationDesign

Do you think double-dog daring an architect on a technical choice is more effective than a suggestion? Let's find out in this week's episode of "what is this weirdo doing at a national laboratory"

For us at Spirit of Space, the Goodfellas long take is more than just a movie scene—it’s part of our origin story. Watch Adam analyze how this iconic take influenced our perspective on architectural storytelling as Ryan’s score brings the story to life. The link to the full Goodfellas scene is in the comments. #ArchitecturalAnalysis #SpiritOfSpace #GoodfellasArchitecture
