Thesis Title:

Working Toward Wellness: The Neurological Implications of the Built Environment

Eryn Young

Architecture today concerns itself primarily with the normative condition, however, it has a duty to address and adapt to different neurological capacities. One's environment has a major influence over one's mood and behavior, so architecture needs to address how we, as designers, can better design the built environment to positively impact people especially those that are more sensitive to sensory stimuli, such as those dealing with ADHD, ADD, and epilepsy.| People with neurological disorders frequently struggle within the workplace due to a lack of consideration for individual wellness in office environments. By redesigning office spaces with a deep consideration for an individual's cognitive function within the collective environment, we can increase productivity, comfort, and overall satisfaction within the workplace.||
