At the Intersection of Neuroscience and Design
Tiziana Proietti is an architect, researcher and educator at the Christopher C. Gibbs College of Architecture, University of Oklahoma. She directs the Sense|Base Lab, which bridges architecture and neuroscience, with a focus on the perception of architectural proportion. Dr. Proietti earned her doctorate from the Department of Architecture at Sapienza University of Rome (Italy) in collaboration with Delft University of Technology (Netherlands). Her doctoral dissertation focused on the theory of proportion in architecture. Together with Dr. Sergei Gepshtein, a scientist from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, she is developing an interdisciplinary research program that combines neuroscientific knowledge and architectural design. This research tests longstanding hypotheses about human responses to architectural proportion. She is also a member of the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture (ANFA) Advisory Council, based in San Diego, California.
