DESCRIPTION:Juhani Pallasmaa\, Harry Mallgrave\, Olaf Blanke\, Andrea S
 erino\, Isabella Pasqualini\, Tibor Joanelly\nArchitectonic space engage
 s several aspects of embodiment. While embodiment is a well-studied phenom
 enon in cognitive neuroscience\, little is known about the impact of archi
 tecture on human behavior and self-consciousness. Here\, we propose a symp
 osium that promotes empirical scientific methods for architecture\, studyi
 ng the subjective experience of the body in space modulated by the facets 
 of the environment.\nVisuo-spatial effects of the arts on emotional states
  have been investigated for more than a decade through neuroaesthetics. To
 day knowledge about the effects of architecture on the body\, feelings\, e
 motions and wellbeing is sparse. We argue that findings from neuroscience 
 can be implemented into the architectural design process to improve and en
 hance the user’s experience of space. The symposium “empirical: embodi
 ment in architecture & neuroscience” is dedicated to architects\, neuros
 cientists and engineers\, who are interested in initiating a community cen
 tred on space design. Architects and planners are facing today unprecedent
 ed challenges – and\, in the same measure\, there are scientific and tec
 hnological advancements under development that have not been tested for ar
 chitectural purposes yet.
