It is nothing but an extension of our nervous system. Collin Ellard, a researcher in the University of Waterloo, Canada studies the psychological impact of the city design. One of Ellard’s most consistent findings is that people are strongly affected by building façades. Sociologist William Whyte, once advised urban planners to arrange objects and artifacts in public spaces in ways that nudged people physically closer together so that they would likely talk to each other, a process he called “triangulation", an important aspect of architecture psychology. Conscious cities is a concept which proposes that we replace the focus on efficiency in the built environment with a focus on health and well being. One of the major themes of Conscious Cities is to bridge neuroscience, architecture and technology.
