Speaking
As interdisciplinary fields continue to emerge between architecture, psychology and the behavioural sciences, spaces for public discussion and knowledge dissemination become increasingly important. Talks, lectures and panel discussions offer opportunities to connect research with practice, encourage critical dialogue across disciplines and explore how the built environment shapes human experience in everyday life. The conversations presented here examine how research, practice and public discourse can inform one another in shaping more thoughtful approaches to the built environment.
Architectural Psychology in Action
Applying evidence-informed approaches within architecture, post-occupancy evaluation and interdisciplinary design research.
Evidence and Design Practice
On translating behavioural and environmental research into architectural decision-making without reducing design to metrics alone.
Workplace Experience
Flexible working, organisational culture and the relationship between spatial experience, collaboration and professional identity.
Learning Environments
How educational settings shape concentration, belonging, movement and social interaction, with particular interest in wellbeing, neurodiversity and the everyday experience of students and staff.
Behaviour and the Built Environment
How spatial conditions shape attention, interaction, stress and everyday experience across workplaces, education and civic environments.
Neuroarchitecture and Its Scope
Reflections on neuroscience, environmental psychology and the interpretation of evidence within spatial design discourse.
