Neuroaesthetics and neuroarchitecture are two emerging interdisciplinary approaches in design that, by drawing on neuroscience, explore how physical environments influence human emotions, behavior, and mental well-being. Focusing on sensory experience, aesthetics, and emotional comfort, these concepts demonstrate that spatial design can go beyond form and function to play a vital role in reducing stress, enhancing focus, boosting creativity, and improving quality of life. From biophilic design and emotional ergonomics to therapeutic and educational spaces, neuroarchitecture—guided by scientific evidence—opens a new path toward creating environments that are responsive to human needs.

Elevating Building Foundations is an engineering and climatic response to challenging ground conditions such as flooding, storms, melting polar ice, high humidity, and environmentally sensitive sites. In contemporary architecture, this strategy not only protects the structure but also enhances airflow, mitigates climate-related damage, respects cultural context, and reduces environmental footprint. From flood-prone regions to tropical climates, elevating buildings contributes to damage reduction, improved ventilation, and a more harmonious adaptation to nature.
