Bauten im Kopf

This book, co-authored with architect Christian Heuchel and titled 'Building in the Mind - Architecture and Neurosciences', discusses the significance of current findings in neuroscience and psychology for architectural perspectives such as spatial orientation, atmosphere, social living spaces, and 'intelligent' buildings. Furthermore, it presents the neuropsychological foundations of planning and execution throughout the construction process, as well as the relevance of artificial intelligence for architecture. The target audience includes architects and urban planners, students of architecture, psychologists, and neuroscientists, as well as anyone interested in the subject of architecture. The publication aims to contribute to an architecture that is closely aligned with human needs. The connections discussed in the book are related to new degree programs at architecture faculties in the USA and Italy and are increasingly gaining importance in Germany as well. The unique approach of the text lies in the close collaboration between a neuropsychologist and an architect with extensive experience in their fields, allowing for a practical discussion of future perspectives.
