#34 - Ann Sussman, the HAPI: The Brain, Biology, Beauty and our Built Environment

In today's episode we are joined by Ann Sussman, architect and president of the Human Architecture and Planning Institute, or the Hapi. Her book Cognitive Architecture, which she authored together with Justin Hollander, dives into the cognitive effects that our built environment has on us humans. Cognitive Architecture is an important source for anyone who wants to consider the human experience of architecture and design for cognitive health, and to create more pleasant, beautiful places.
