How Evolution Shapes Our Loves and Fears' 'As most apparent in the student exercises at the end of each chapter, this slender volume is didactic; those desiring a greater awareness of their built environments may find it useful. Summing Up: Recommended. All readership levels. Wharton, Duke University 'Sussman and Hollander have delivered a major advance in the creative union of human biology and architecture in the service of happiness. Wilson, University Professor Emeritus, Harvard University, USA 'Cognitive Architecture expands the dialogue relating to communities and the urban environment by integrating research from seemingly unrelated fields into the design discourse.

As a result of this approach, the book is one that is relevant across a wide array of disciplines, either situated in design or within other fields. In this regard, the book can also add an additional layer of depth and context to other social disciplines that evaluate the cognitively based relationships between people and their environments, including environmental psychology, place attachment, and even tourism.

The book outlines four main principlesEdges Matter, the fact people are a thigmotactic or a 'wall-hugging' species; Patterns Matter, how we are visually-oriented; Shapes Carry Weight, how our preference for bilateral symmetrical forms is biological; and finally, Storytelling is Key, how our narrative proclivities, unique to our species, play a role in successful place-making.

In Cognitive Architecture, the authors review new findings in psychology and neuroscience to help architects and planners better understand their clients as the sophisticated mammals they are, arriving in the world with built-in responses to the environment that have evolved over millennia.

The book takes an inside-out approach to design, arguing that the more we understand human behavior, the better we can design for it.

The text suggests new ways to analyze current designs before they are built, allowing the designer to anticipate a user s future experience. More than one hundred photographs and drawings illustrate its key concepts. Six exercises and additional case studies suggest particular topics - from the significance of face-processing in the human brain to our fascination with fractals - for further study.

This book provides an integrated framework for natural and artificial cognition by highlighting the fundamental role played by the cognitive architecture in the dialectics with the surrounding environment and consequently in the definition of a particular meaningful world.

This book is also about embodied and non-embodied artificial systems, cognitive architectures. This book introduces three key issues: i development of a gradient-free method to enable multi-objective self-optimization; ii development of a reinforcement learning strategy to carry out self-learning and finally, iii experimental evaluation and validation in two micromachining processes i.
