Making sense of space: The neuroaesthetics of architecture

What the study found

Connects architectural experience to neuroaesthetic and embodied-cognition frameworks.

Limitations

Theoretical synthesis; design rules require primary empirical support.

Neurodesign interpretation

The chapter helps shift Neurodesign away from treating architecture as an image and toward space as something perceived through a moving body.

Possible design implications

Use for language and mechanism framing, not evidence grading.

Why it stays in the corpus

Retain as a conceptual bridge between neuroaesthetics and spatial design.
