ArchDaily and IE School of Architecture and Design would like to invite you to join this outstanding online masterclass by Charrisse Johnston, currently Principal and Co-Founder of StudioSALT.
Have you ever wondered why certain designs last the test of time, while others turn out to be fads? Or questioned how colors can actually create biological responses, such as hunger or sleepiness?
Designers are learning from neuroscientists how the physical environment can improve overall health and wellbeing, but also spur healthier behaviors and support neurodiversity.
