“The Architect's Brain: Neuroscience, Creativity, and Architecture” is
the first book to consider the relationship between the neurosciences and
architecture, offering a compelling and provocative study in the field of
architectural theory.
- Explores various moments of architectural thought over the last 500 years as a cognitive manifestation of philosophical, psychological, and physiological theory.
- Looks at architectural thought through the lens of the remarkable insights of contemporary neuroscience, particularly as they have advanced within the last decade.
- Demonstrates the neurological justification for some very timeless architectural ideas, from the multisensory nature of the architectural experience to the essential relationship of ambiguity and metaphor to creative thinking.

REVIEWS
"Hence these two books from the same publisher and by the same
author, Harry Francis Mallgrave, sole writer of the former and co-author with
David Goodman of the second book, make a valuable contribution to this growing
field of knowledge." (Architectural Review, 1 July 2011)
"Since I studied architecture ... I always heard the diatribe
about if architecture is an art or a science, I personally believe is both. If
you’re interested in both architecture and science be sure to grab a copy of
this interesting book." (Eclectic Me Blog, April 2010)
"A gripping interpretation of how the latest advances in
neuroscience enlarge our understanding of architecture from Alberti’s belief
that a building is a ‘form of body’ to the computer whose dominance in
architecture Mallgrave challenges." David Watkin, University of
Cambridge
