Tye Farrow Writes Foreword for ‘People-Centered Architecture”
“If buildings impact the health and wellbeing of the people who occupy them, then how and to what extent, are we as architects responsible for that impact?”

Shinberg is an architect and professor at the Catholic University of America internationally recognized for his expertise in the study of architecture and the human sciences, including cognitive neuroscience.
Tye farrow writes: “Milton Shinberg in this insightful, inspiring, and concise treatise, opens our eyes to the vast, yet emerging landscape of research in the interrelationship between neuroscience (the science of the brain), cognitive psychology (the science of the mind), and architecture (the art and practice of placemaking).
This book challenges us to come to terms with, and understand that, if buildings impact the health and wellbeing of the people who occupy them, then how and to what extent, are we as architects responsible for that impact?”
