In her talk, Dea Luma embarks on a journey to explore the profound impact of architecture on our perception and well-being. She delves into the emerging field of neuroarchitecture, which investigates how environments affect our brains and sheds light on the complex interplay between architecture, neuroscience, and human experience. By showcasing pioneering research that uncovers the intricate relationship between our brains and the spaces we inhabit, Dea inspires a future where architecture is evidence-based and user-centered, challenging designers to create environments that truly resonate with the way our minds perceive and interact with the world. Dea Luma is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Architecture at the University of Tokyo, where she has also completed her doctoral studies. Her expertise lies in the innovative field of Neuroarchitecture, a discipline that combines Neuroscience and Architecture. Through this new field, Dea is able to gather practical knowledge of the impact of architectural design on the human brain.
In addition to her academic activities, Dea worked as a partner architect at an architectural design office in Tokyo. In this role, she focused on interior design and expanded her field of work through projects between Japan and Taiwan. Dea's experience extends even further, as she has been a trainee at Riken Center for Advanced Intelligence Project in Japan. Here she looked deeper into the link between Neuroarchitecture and patients with Alzheimer's disease. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
