Exploring the impact of the built environment and design on people
with a range of neurological experiences, including autism,
dementia, dyslexia and dyspraxia, this comprehensive guide provides
project commissioners, architects and designers with all the
information and personal insight they need to design, create and
build 'mind-friendly' environments for everyone. Assimilating
knowledge from medical, therapeutic, social and educational
spheres, and using sensory integration theory, the book explores
the connection between our minds and our surroundings and considers
the impact of the environment on the senses, well-being and
neurodiverse needs of people. The book shows how design adaptations
to lighting, acoustics, temperature, surfaces, furniture and space
can positively benefit the lives of everyone across a range of
environments including workplaces, retail, sport and leisure,
domestic, educational institutions, cultural and civic spaces,
outdoor spaces and places of worship. Universal in its approach and
written by an experienced architect and inclusive design
consultant, this book is essential reading for professionals in
architecture and design, education, organisational psychology,
business management and occupational therapy.
