Overview
Overview
We are an international and multidisciplinary movement that aims to unite the human sciences and design to transform the way we create spaces that support life.
Our buildings, neighborhoods and cities directly impact our health and well-being, yet we still understand little about how the relationship between people and environments works in detail. To bridge this gap, the Moving Boundaries Collaborative is an initiative that draws together architects, interior and urban designers, neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, environmental psychologists and other design professionals to promote research, education and advocacy. Operating at the intersection of science and the design of the built environment, we foster a global community of professionals, educators and students committed to creating spaces that support human life.

“Modern man has no unified worldview. He lives in a double world, at once in his own naturally given environment and in a world created for him by modern natural science, based on the principle of mathematical laws governing nature. It is understandable that thinkers and philosophers have often attempted somehow to overcome [this disunion], yet they have generally gone about this in a way generally meant to eliminate one of the two terms, to logically reduce one to the other, to present one—usually on the basis of causal argument—as a consequence and a component of the other.”
– Jan Patočka
