Theory of Architecture | #25 - Ann Sussman

Ann Sussman, RA, is an architect, author and researcher. Her books, including Cognitive Architecture and Urban Experience + Design, reveal the unconscious tendencies at work when we navigate the world around us. These ‘hidden’ predispositions reflect our long evolutionary trip per recent research in psychology and neuroscience, and can help explain why we favour certain urban conditions and building configurations and shun others. Understanding ourselves better, Sussman believes, can lead us to build more humanely and ultimately, more successfully for people.

The brilliant Ann Sussman explains the biological and evolutionary basis of architecture. Those who listen to this magnificent talk should ask why architectural education and global practice continue to ignore Sussman's pioneering discoveries. Sussman deserves a Nobel Prize!

I love the part about the lack of narrative coherence in modern architecture. I don't hate modern architecture i think it was necessary for its time. How to make buildings quick, efficient, functional with minimal cost in a time of overly frivolous buildings. That's not so bad, but I believe as humans develop our needs change and its just time to fill in those gaps. Lovely session👏👏
