Implications of neuroarchitecture for the experience of the built environment: a scoping review

What the study found

The field is promising but small, methodologically diverse and concentrated in selected environmental attributes.

Limitations

Small literature base at the time; inconsistent methods and outcome measures.

Neurodesign interpretation

Neuroarchitecture is younger than its branding suggests. The corpus should distinguish mature environmental-psychology evidence from newer biometrics-heavy experiments.

Possible design implications

Use it to trace the evolution of the field and identify which claims predate robust replication.

Why it stays in the corpus

Retain as an early map of neuroarchitecture evidence.
