Juhani Pallasmaa Conferencistas BAQ2014

Prof Kate Jeffery is a neuroscientist researching how the brain makes an internal representation of space. Kate founded the Institute of Behavioural Neuroscience at UCL, a laboratory comprising several researchers who use physiological methods to study cognition. She studies how spatially sensitive neurons encode complex spaces, with a particular focus on two main issues: three dimensional space, and the internal “sense of direction”. --- Event: Sensing Space - Behavioural Science for The Built Environment Alongside visual tools, architects use intuition and a well-developed sense of empathy to imagine the experience of another within the environment being created. However, not only are these understandings limited by our subjective disposition, they are also difficult to express to others effectively. Increasingly so, science is creating insights that can augment the architect’s ability to curate an experience. The adoption of new tools from psychology and neuroscience into the architect’s creative process is now a viable and promising opportunity. Conscious Cities, The Bartlett School of Architecture, and the Institute of Behavioural Neuroscience host a series of short talks and a panel debate with researchers at the forefront of creating behavioural insights. --- Conscious Cities Festival 2018 The Conscious Cities Festival gathers those interested in the creation of human-centred environments. Research and practice using the conscious cities approach explores how architecture and urban design can better consider and respond to human needs through science informed design, data analysis and new technology.

World-famous architects Peter Zumthor and Juhani Pallasmaa discuss the being and state of architecture on the 17th of January, 2018 in the Dipoli building, Otaniemi, Finland. The "Architecture Speaks" lectures are organised by Aalto University and the Museum of Finnish Architecture. The final question is posed by Associate Professor Jenni Reuter, Aalto University Department of Architecture.

"Architecture as Experience—Existential Fusion of the World and Self" keynote presentation by Juhani Pallasmaa for the Driehaus Foundation Built Environment Symposium 2017. More at driehausfoundation.org Internationally acclaimed architect, educator and writer Juhani Pallasmaa has authored more than forty books relating to the multi sensory and existential dimensions of experiencing art and architecture. His is the former Rector of the Institute of Design, Helsinki; Dean of the Faculty of Architecture at the Helsinki University of Technology; and Director of the Museum of Finnish Architecture. He has had visiting professorships at a number of North American universities and lectured and conducted workshops at numerous universities across the globe.

To compensate for our environmental disorientation, we use technology – paper maps, signposts, & smartphones. Perhaps we jump in a taxi. We use devices to essentially teleport us from one place to another, paying little attention to our surroundings and losing connection with the in-between. Because we often don’t really “know” where we are, we navigate inefficiently. Worse, our travel experience is often poor. This disconnection from our surroundings causes people-jams in crowded spaces, but it also has another consequence: it separates us from our planet, such that we’ve stopped caring about it. Dr. Jeffery is a medical graduate and Professor of Behavioural Neuroscience at UCL. Her research involves recording of neurons in the rodent brain during navigation, to understand how the brain represents complex environments. She aims to bring emerging knowledge about the cognitive neuroscience of navigation to the outside world to influence the design of cities and of navigation technology. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
