Title: The architect's brain
Subtitle: neuroscience, creativity, and architecture
Description: "In part one of The Architect's Brain, [author] sketches various moments of architectural thought over the last 500 years as a cognitive manifestation of philosophical, psychological and physiological theory. In part two, he repositions this question from the perspective of the remarkable insights of contemporary neurosciences, particularly as they have advanced within the last decade. What emerges is a surprising neurological justification for some very timeless architectural ideas, from the multisensory nature of the architectural experience to the essential relationship of ambiguity and metaphor to creative thinking."--Book jacket.
