‘The Architecture of the Brain’ Experimental Project
from Green, Abbie
Experimental Project
Born from the idea that Architects and Neuroscientists could work together ‘The Architecture of the Brain’ is a research centre designed to investigate the affects addiction and trauma can have on the brain’s development. The hope of this project was that by examining the function of the brain within architecturally stimulating spaces, which also inspire the brains of its young patients, some of the long-lasting damage caused to the brain’s connections could be prevented, protecting our younger generations minds.
