Neuroarchitecture Event | NIU Houses

30/09/2024

The Polytechnic University of Valencia held a major event on Neuroarchitecture on October 1, where the findings of an innovative neurophysiological study carried out on the industrialized homes that make up the NIU Houses showroom in Campolivar were presented. This event is the result of an in-depth analysis carried out in collaboration with NIU Houses, a project by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos, which has been awarded the Bronze Delta at the ADI-FAD thanks to its innovative construction system.

The study, developed by the UPV and funded by the Generalitat Valenciana, is a pioneer in Europe and focuses on scientifically measuring the psychological and neurophysiological effects of inhabitants in industrialized housing. Throughout the research, the impact of architectural design, construction precision and environmental factors on the well-being of users has been analyzed.

During the event, which took place at the same NIU Houses facilities where the study had been developed, the results of the study were presented, which explores the relationship between architecture and neuroscience, revealing how the built environment can influence behaviour and mental health. This analysis has had the collaboration of leading companies such as Actiu and Greenarea, as well as the architect and expert in Well certifications, Anna Ferrer. The event was a good occasion for professionals and academics interested in the convergence of architecture and neuroscience.

Behind the team led by the UPV and working on this project is Carmen Llinares, who is at the forefront of this type of research.
