Guest Lecture at Stanford University

Tye Farrow to deliver guest lecture at Stanford University to the Brains, Bodies & Buildings: Neuro-Architecture & Spaces that Shape Us course. Lecturers of the course discuss the cognitive and physical impact that the built environment has on the human body. Tye Farrow will feature in the course on January 26 to share how the built environment enhances the mind’s health, highlight the role of salutogenesis, and discuss the power of enriching environments.

The interdisciplinary field of neuroarchitecture is an emerging body of research that stresses the importance of the design of the built environment in relationship to the health of the human body. Neuroarchitecture was solidified during the early 2000s when neuroscientist Fred Gage and architect John Paul Eberhard founded the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture in San Diego. The field of research has been increasingly expanding, grasping the interest and attention of spatial practitioners, healthcare professionals, and policy makes around the world.

Tye Farrow holds a Master’s degree in Neuroscience applied to Architecture from the IAUV University of Venice. Tye continues to push the boundary of neuroarchitectural research through his doctoral studies at the University of Toronto where he is developing the Architectural Determinants of Health model in an effort to turn public health models towards a salutogenic lens.
