Our increasingly complex cities contain increasingly complex buildings and navigating these can be a miserable and frustrating experience. To address how we can build better buildings, this event brings neuroscientists, architects, and designers together to discuss how the neuroscience of mental mapping can helpfully inform architects and sign designers.

It arises from a joint collaboration between The Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture (ANFA), The Royal Institute of Navigation (RIN), The Society for Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD), and The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. Taking place at UCL’s Here East campus at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and online, this one-day event comprises talks from a variety of academics and practitioners, and panel/audience discussion, followed by a social event. Open to anyone with a professional interest in the mental mapping of buildings.

The event will also be streamed on Zoom.

Please note: If you are registering to attend in person and you have accessibility requirements, please get in touch with the organisers before the event.
