After decades of research on minds and brains and a decade of
conversations with architects, Michael Arbib presents When Brains
Meet Buildings as an invitation to the science behind architecture,
richly illustrated with buildings both famous and domestic. As he
converses with the reader, he presents action-oriented perception,
memory, and imagination as well as atmosphere, aesthetics, and
emotion as keys to analyzing the experience and design of
architecture. He also explores what it might mean for buildings to
have "brains" and illuminates all this with an appreciation of the
biological and cultural evolution that supports the diverse modes
of human living that we know today. These conversations will not
only raise the level of interaction between architecture and
neuroscience but, by explaining the world of each group to the
other, will also engage all readers who share a fascination with
both the brains within them and the buildings around them. Michael
Arbib is a pioneer in the interdisciplinary study of computers and
brains and has long studied brain mechanisms underlying the visual
control of action. His expertise makes him a unique authority on
the intersection of architecture and neuroscience.
