Exploring the impact of the built environment and design on people with a range of neurological experiences, including autism, dementia, dyslexia and dyspraxia, this comprehensive guide provides project commissioners, architects and designers with all the information and personal insight they need to design, create and build 'mind-friendly' environments for everyone.
Assimilating knowledge from medical, therapeutic, social and educational spheres, and using sensory integration theory, the book explores the connection between our minds and our surroundings and considers the impact of the environment on the senses, well-being and neurodiverse needs of people. The book shows how design adaptations to lighting, acoustics, temperature, surfaces, furniture and space can positively benefit the lives of everyone across a range of environments including workplaces, retail, sport and leisure, domestic, educational institutions, cultural and civic spaces, outdoor spaces and places of worship.
Universal in its approach and written by an experienced architect and inclusive design consultant, this book is essential reading for professionals in architecture and design, education, organisational psychology, business management and occupational therapy.

"A unique book assimilating knowledge from medical, therapeutic, social and teaching spheres in order to make role players commissioning and designing in the built environment aware of people's diverse neurological needs. This book will allow project commissioners, architects and designers to create environments that are more 'mind friendly' for all. Although not a 'how to guide' 5 useful sections, will also suggest practical applications throughout the discussion. Using sensory integration theory, stress responses in a range of neurological conditions such as dementia, dyslexia and autism to their built environments are explored consistently through the lens of the built environment"--
