The Bartlett School of Architecture: Getting lost in buildings

Date: 5 September 2024
Time: 9:15 am
In-person at UCL at Here East Auditorium, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London E20 3BS, UK, and online via Zoom
Third-party event

A day of talks addressing how we can build better buildings using the neuroscience of mental mapping to inform architects. This is a hybrid event which can be joined either in-person or online.

Our increasingly complex cities contain increasingly complex buildings and navigating these can be a miserable and frustrating experience. To address how we can build better buildings, this event brings neuroscientists, architects, and designers together to discuss how the neuroscience of mental mapping can helpfully inform architects and sign designers.

It arises from a joint collaboration between The Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture (ANFA), The Royal Institute of Navigation (RIN), The Society for Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD), and The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. This one-day event comprises talks from a variety of academics and practitioners, and panel/audience discussion, followed by a social event. Open to anyone with a professional interest in mental mapping of buildings.

This event is free but places need to be pre-booked.
