In all our everyday activities, we always try to find the best balance between the physical and mental exertion involved and the benefits we hope to obtain. Our quest to achieve this affects our social relations, health, and even the effectiveness of the activity in question. As has been widely proven, architecture can either improve this balance or be detrimental to it. That is why mental-physical well-being and performance are naturally allied.
Discoveries in the field of the neurosciences have provided a vast array of knowledge about the relationship between our body-brain system and the space in which we live. Knowing all about this transforms our approach to designing the places in which we spend 90% of our lives. Finding out that cerebral structures are activated the same way when we see, perform or remember an action has allowed us to recognise that emotions coexist with various kinematic interactions between the body and architectural forms.

Underlying feelings colour our lives because our body’s multi-sensorial interaction inside architectural space allows emotions to rise to consciousness. It is the project itself that must carefully choose the right responses to emotional expectations.
