Applying the insights of neuroscience to architecture has the potential to deliver buildings and spaces that measurably promote well-being and create healthier or more effective environments for specific activities. There is, however, a risk that neuroarchitecture will become just another buzzword, a passing architectural fashion or a marketing exercise just as 'eco', 'green' and 'sustainable' have become. This issue of AD offers the reader an alternative to 'neuro' sound-bites and exposes them to the thinking which led to the design of the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour (SWC), a pioneering medical research facility designed to foster collaboration between researchers. Multi award winning, the SWC was one of the first buildings in the world designed to take into account what has been learned about how the work space affects behaviour and is a highly effective building in which to work. Readers will gain a richer, deeper insight into the complex mental and existential aspects of architecture, design, and our many senses, how they interact and might interact in the future, and how that knowledge can be used to design more effective buildings and built environments.

'Truly essential' MARGARET ATWOOD Feeling anxious, powerless or confused about the future of our planet? This book will transform how you see our biggest environmental problems - and how we can solve them We are bombarded by doomsday headlines that tell us the soil won't be able to support crops, fish will vanish from our oceans, that we should reconsider having children. But in this bold, radically hopeful book, data scientist Hannah Ritchie argues that if we zoom out, a very different picture emerges. The data shows we've made so much progress on these problems, and so fast, that we could be on track to achieve true sustainability for the first time in history. Packed with the latest research, practical guidance and enlightening graphics, this book will make you rethink almost everything you've been told about the environment, from the virtues of eating locally and living in the countryside, to the evils of overpopulation, plastic straws and palm oil. It will give you the tools to understand what works, what doesn't and what we urgently need to focus on so we can leave a sustainable planet for future generations. These problems are big. But they are solvable. We are not doomed. We can build a better future for everyone. Let's turn that opportunity into reality. 'Not the End of the World is an inspiring data-mine which gives us not only real guidance, but the most necessary ingredient of all: hope . . . practical and truly essential' Margaret Atwood, TED2023

Falling in love was just the beginning.

Lily and Lo are childhood best friends and soul mates.

Ryke and Daisy are wild risk-takers and flirty adventurers.

Connor and Rose are genius rivals and intellectual teammates.

After ten years of laughter. Of heartache. And love. They’re all back one final time.

Most people have, at some time in their lifetime, asked themselves: Why me? What is life all about? What is the meaning and purpose of life? Why are we here? Why do we need to be here? And many other similar questions. To date, I am not aware of any authority, religious or scientific; that has given an adequate and meaningful answer to these questions. In reality, the answers lie in spirit evolution, in each individual's spiritual development, and in reincarnation. For too long populations have lived in ignorance of true spiritual facts and relied on the words of those with limited spiritual knowledge. This has led to them being indoctrinated and controlled by superstition and religious doctrines. The purpose of this book is to convey in simple layman's language the basic truths concerning the interrelationship between the human spirit and the physical body, and to introduce other related subjects. I would like to think that what you read will trigger a need for you to investigate further the facts for yourself, so that you can reach your own conclusions.

This "eye-opening and essential" book will transform how you see our biggest environmental problems—and explains how we can solve them.

It’s become common to tell kids that they’re going to die from climate change. We are constantly bombarded by doomsday headlines that tell us the soil won’t be able to support crops, fish will vanish from our oceans, and that we should reconsider having children.
