Concussed Architecture

Concussed architecture presents a new theoretical framework by using concussion as inspiration for form, spatial organization + experience. Rooted in principles of neuroscience and architecture, concussed architecture creates cognitively complex environments to engage and stimulate both the mind and body by fostering enriched environments through architectural form. This thesis proposes the design of an early childhood daycare center located on the campus of the Salk Institute in La Jolla as part of the John P. Eberhard Competition to help reinforce this idea of concussed architecture as a theoretical, disciplinary, and building problem.
