The Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture
Where will we find empirical evidence for the benefits of Universal Design?
The Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture seems well-suited to researching the question.

We hope you will explore what we are doing in this exciting new venture. Not since the contributions made by physics at the end of the 19th century (structural design methods, acoustic design formulas, lighting calculations, etc.) has science been so well prepared to expand the knowledge base available to the profession of architecture. The Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture is the primary instrument for developing this potential. At the moment we are the only organization in the world devoted to the goal of building intellectual bridges between neuroscience and architecture.Not only will those of us who are architects benefit from the new knowledge base made possible by neuroscience, but future generations of school children, hospital patients, office workers, and worshippers in sacred places will have their environments more carefully tuned to their needs and desires.
You and your organization have an opportunity to accept Jonas Salk’s admonition “to become better ancestors for future generations.”
Sincerely,
John P. Eberhard, FAIA
