The spaces we inhabit are not simple containers.
They are silent actors in our daily lives.
In this episode of the podcast from ATÍPICS.org we talk with Vanina Salinas, architect, author, and director of CON Neuroarq, one of the most influential voices in neuroarchitecture internationally.
We talk about what neuroarchitecture really is and why it goes far beyond aesthetics:
how light, sound, materials, ventilation, or layout influence our emotional, cognitive, and bodily states.
We explore its impact on homes, schools, workplaces, and health, with special attention to sensory diversity and the needs of neurodivergent individuals.
We also address real examples of transformation, practical recommendations for adapting everyday spaces, and the importance of integrating neuroarchitecture with disciplines such as psychology, education, or medicine.
An episode for architects, educators, families, health professionals…
and for anyone who has ever felt that a space calmed or expelled them without knowing why.
Because design is also a form of care.
And learning to listen to spaces can change the way we inhabit the world.
