The neuroarquitectura is an emerging discipline in the United States, which even has a Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture . Begins to yield interesting clues to help us understand how the habitat in which we live affects our physical and mental health. It is not just to sense the color space or have an impact on our mood. This is going a step further and find out what spaces are specific effect on stress hormones and the kind of thoughts we generate. is currently investigating the relationship between open spaces and creative thinking, about the mysterious power of nature to stimulate both the strength as healing people after an illness, or the impact of buildings and furniture with sharp edges on the amygdala, involved in the processes of defense and aggression in the brain. "It is about seeing how each aspect of an architectural environment may influence certain brain processes, such as having to do with stress, emotion and memory," says Eve Edelstein, Ph.D. , associate professor of NewSchool of Architecture & Design in San Diego.

In recent years, much information is emerging that some architects call this stage the new Renaissance of the sciences of design and architecture. Books like Inquiry By Design: Environment Behavior / Neuroscience in Architecture, Interiors, Landscape and Planning John Zeisel, investigate in the field of neuroscience to describe the impact of buildings and spaces in our lives. Know it is inside, to achieve design buildings and spaces consistent with our welfare not only physical but also mental.
the outset, one thing is clear: produce more oxytocin and serotonin, associated with relaxation and enjoyment, if our environments are welcome. It is doubtful that the type of design that take many years to apply to our homes, schools, hospitals or residences for the elderly, to mention some that have been hardest hit the lack of space and denial of the necessity of any element of formal beauty, help people who inhabit them feel better. How many of us live in spaces that reflect our vital needs, our dreams?
We should be rational and pragmatic, no doubt, but only to a point, without losing sight of the architectural elements of the various spaces, public and private, affect the mood and mindset of its inhabitants . While this is always taken into account in the design and construction of large monuments have been denied in the daily lives of most humans, especially in recent decades, as dunks in the survival of the physical and emotional neglect. It is about discovering and consciously acknowledge the impact, positive or negative, the space around us in our lives, our creativity, our spirits . We are entitled to demand that our private and collective habitats reflect and encourage the best in us.
