ANFA Voices
ANFA VOICES is a new project headed by Dr. Kristine Mun to create a series of short commentaries presented by our Advisory Council members and the Board of Directors expressing their views on Neuroscience for Architecture to our global audience. It is a way to share openly and to discuss from their personal experience how neuroscience and architecture are connected, why we need to consider this relationship as relevant and what kind of research directions they have taken with this topic. Set in a casual manner, like a conversation between colleagues, the VOICES series will be ongoing to open up dialogues between ANFA and the public at large as we build our community of researchers, scientists, architects and designers interested in the field of Neuroscience for Architecture.

Live Discussions on COVID-19
COVID-19 has had a pervasive impact on the way that human beings interact amongst each other and with the built environment. Rural villages and densely populated cities have been equally affected. Join one of two live discussion forums assessing the future and consider how research in cognitive science and neuroscience may bring about answers. The questions to be addressed during these forums will cover spatial confinement, reduced quality and quantity of social interaction, loss of privacy, feeling of reduced agency (power to control), reduced environmental richness and novelty, diminished sense of well-being, and increased stress.
