Wellbeing, Neuroarchitecture, and Bioconstruction

Through an interdisciplinary approach, you will acquire the tools to create healthy and functional spaces that meet human needs. You will apply sustainability and energy efficiency criteria, combining environmental psychology and bioconstruction to design environments that promote comfort, emotional connection, and adaptation to the challenges of contemporary life.
