Hour Two: Design
and the Mind
In this hour of Science Friday, we'll look at the influence of architecture
and design on the mind. Though a gloomy basement office room filled
with drab cubicles might make you want to call in sick rather than
work late, can architecture and design help improve your mental processes
while you area at work? Can architecture make you feel better? Think
more creatively? Be a better scientist? We'll talk about it, and the
idea that optimal design may be more than just an efficient floorplan.
Call in with your questions and comments at 1-800-989-8255 (3-4 Eastern),
and share your opinions online in our Listeners' Lounge (registration required).
