FSII invites interior designers, architects, realtors and builders to participate in neuroscience based research.
Rockaway, NJ (PRWEB) March 14, 2006 -- Feng Shui Institute International (FSII) is launching a research initiative that adds expertise from the fields of architecture and neuroscience to feng shui to investigate how pre-verbal, sub-consciously processed visual cues cause individuals to react positively or negatively to various architectural and interior design features.
FSII has been gathering case study information for the past five years about how individuals respond to their environments through a neuroscience-based “archityping” process, adapted by Feng Shui Institute of America and based on the ArchiMap®. The ArchiMap® process was originally developed for architectural use, and now makes inter-professional collaborations between feng shui practioners, architects and scientists finally possible.
FSII has two goals in establishing this new research initiative: The first is to raise public awareness of the links between personal well-being and design in the visual environment that have been highlighted by recent brain research. The second is to foster a cooperative cross-professional sharing of information about the needs of the built environment that can be expanded to include expertise from the fields of psychology, real estate, design, architecture and construction.
FSII is offering complimentary archityping demonstrations to interested professionals in the following locations: Chicago, Columbus, Detroit, and all of Florida. To learn more about the research or schedule an appointment, contact: Barbara Taylor, FSII Executive Director, 973-586-3744.
As a related opportunity, Beverly Payeff-Masey, creator of the ArchiMap®, will conduct a 4-hour course on the tool on April 30th at the Boston Architectural Center (http://www.the-bac.edu). CE credits will be available for architects.
