Shared Space Podcast.
Social health and human connection are essential. Shared Space uses neuroscience and design to explain how built environments shape our capacity to connect — and what we can do about it.
Designing Health: How Architecture Shapes Our Well-Being with Tye Farrow
The spaces we inhabit are not neutral; they have the power to promote our mental, physical, and emotional well-being. By designing with intention, we can create environments that actively support our health.
How Beautiful Spaces Shape Our Minds with Dr. Anjan Chatterjee
Our brains are not merely passive observers of beauty, but active participants in how we perceive and interact with the world. Dr. Chatterjee’s work on embodied cognition and neuroarchitecture highlights the power of the environments we create - not just for functionality, but for their ability to foster well-being, connection, and joy.
The Art of Inclusion with Sara Hendren
How do we creatively engineer public spaces that allow us all to navigate our common terrain?
What might assistance based on the body’s stunning capacity for adaptation—rather than a rigid insistence on “normalcy”—look like?
Sara Hendren explores the places where disability shows up in design, an inventive tradition of remaking our everyday tools and environments that carries the highest human stakes.
