Neuroscience and Courthouse Design Workshop: Understanding
Cognitive Processes in the Courthouse
By Christina Noble, Assoc. AIA, LEED AP
The Academy of Neuroscience of Architecture was created with the
mission to research links between neuroscience and “human
responses to the built environment.” As Dr. Fred Gage stated
in his Lecture on Neuroscience and Architecture, “the places
we live, work and play are changing our brains and our behavior all

controls behavior, genes control the brain’s “design and
structure,” and the environment impacts gene’s function.
