Sarah Williams-Goldhagen has written a very interesting book in which she highlights how recent neurological and cognitive research broadens our understanding of how deeply the built environment affects us. Architects’ decisions directly influence people’s emotions, performance, health, memories… As architects, we can justify investing in architectural quality by more than just “making it look nicer.” We can say that your employees perform their tasks 15% faster in this environment and take 10% fewer sick days; we have measurable data to argue for a better built environment… maybe?
The book is sold, for example, on Amazon.
