SCIENCE

The Neuroscience of Inner Peace

Neuroarchitecture: This field studies how built environments impact brain function. Using design principles like symmetry, natural light, and organic forms, the central space can be scientifically optimized to promote calm and reduce stress. Research shows that natural light and biophilic elements can lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone).

Acoustic Science

Sound design can be optimized for tranquility. The central space could use soundproofing materials and specific frequencies that reduce stress and anxiety (e.g., white noise or water sounds).

Lighting Design

(Circadian Rhythm): LED lighting that mimics natural sunlight can support the body’s circadian rhythm, helping occupants feel more awake during the day and relaxed toward the evening, based on principles of light's impact on melatonin production.

Mental Clarity (Mind)

Cognitive Load Theory: Spaces can be decluttered and minimalist in design to reduce cognitive load, allowing people to focus more effectively. Research shows that reducing visual noise improves attention and memory function.

Social Neuroscience

The layout of community lounges and dining areas can encourage pro-social behavior by utilizing round tables and open seating arrangements. These promote face-to-face interaction, which research has shown fosters deeper conversations and human connection.

Emotional Balance (Soul)

Therapeutic Design: Counseling rooms and private spaces can use color therapy principles, where warm, neutral tones are shown to evoke feelings of safety and trust. Scientific studies in environmental psychology support the idea that certain shapes (soft curves rather than hard angles) and colors lower stress.

Brain-Health Optimised Spaces

Incorporate features such as standing desks and dynamic seating that promote better brain function through increased blood flow and movement. These spaces can also integrate air purification systems, ensuring higher oxygen levels and reducing indoor pollutants that impair cognitive function.

Shape and
Flow

While the building could maintain its forms, scientific research on optimal circulation paths would guide the way people move through spaces, avoiding overcrowding or long, disorienting corridors. Circular layouts based on cognitive mapping principles ensure that people feel intuitively connected to their environment.
