Should form follow function…or should it follow feeling? Do we build and design houses…or habitats? Learn how cutting edge research is revealing how aesthetic experiences are entering our minds through the portal of the senses–Do we design based on sense perception? Learn why aesthetic experiences are an “evolutionary imperative” and are essential to our well being.
