Grounded in architecture’s expertise and informed by the multidisciplinary, empirical investigation into experience, body, and built environment, the ANFA Italy Chapter encourages mutual understanding and knowledge sharing among students, scholars, educators, and practitioners. We are a non-profit research, dissemination, and networking project aimed to valorize the Italian scientific community with the backing of an international Advisory Council of experts from architecture, design, philosophy, cognitive science, and economics.

Compliant with the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture (ANFA) mission, we focus on translating and applying science-based and evidence-driven principles to the design process at any scale (interior, architecture, urban, and landscape design). Five concepts inspire our approach to what is now commonly called “neuroarchitecture”:
embodiment, affect, atmosphere, attunement, and memory
