This book explores the contributions of psychological,
neuroscientific and philosophical perspectives to the design of
contemporary cities. Pursuing an innovative and multidisciplinary
approach, it addresses the need to re-launch knowledge and
creativity as major cultural and institutional bases of human
communities. Dwelling is a form of knowledge and re-invention of
reality that involves both the tangible dimension of physical
places and their mental representation. Findings in the
neuroscientific field are increasingly opening stimulating
perspectives on the design of spaces, and highlight how our ability
to understand other people is strongly related to our corporeity.
The first part of the book focuses on the contributions of various
disciplines that deal with the spatial dimension, and explores the
dovetailing roles that science and art can play from a
multidisciplinary perspective. In turn, the second part formulates
proposals on how to promote greater integration between the
aesthetic and cultural dimension in spatial design. Given its
scope, the book will benefit all scholars, academics and
practitioners who are involved in the process of planning,
designing and building places, and will foster an international
exchange of research, case studies, and theoretical reflections to
confront the challenges of designing conscious places and enable
the development of communities.
