At our monthly committee meeting, Ana Rolim, PhD, shared her research on how museum layouts shape visitor behavior. By combining Space Syntax with cognitive neuroscience, Ana’s work revealed how spatial design affects movement, attention, and interaction within galleries. Through VR simulations and computational analysis, she provided valuable insights into how architectural design influences human experience. We’re grateful to Ana for offering such a thought-provoking session, inspiring us with new perspectives on the powerful connection between space and behavior, leaving us with much to consider and discuss moving forward.
Social Science and Architecture
The Social Science and Architecture Committee was formed in January 2016 with the goal of bringing together professionals and students from architecture, social science, and other fields to discuss, collaborate, and facilitate programs for the community. The meeting offers a place to exchange ideas related to social science and architecture, address topics of interest to the attendees, and to plan AIA panels on related topics. The Committee meets monthly and is open to anyone who would like to attend. Meetings are held the fourth Friday of every month from 8:30-10:00 AM.
