MOVING BOUNDARIES JAPAN

THE MOVIE

The Nature of Architecture

We have started a fundraising drive to help award-winning Italian directors, Stefano Croci and Silvia Siberini, together with the Moving Boundaries Collaborative, to create a film about the revolution in the architecture and design world. Some observers have characterized what is happening at the interface of neuroscience, environmental psychology, and design as the most exciting frontier of human knowledge since the Renaissance. All humanity stands to benefit from this research, and it is undeniable that in the process, the design disciplines will be recast. The film produced by the MB Collaborative and directed by Croci and Siberini will document this amazing transformation. The mission of the Moving Boundaries Collaborative is to promote and advance knowledge that links research in neuroscience, psychology, sociology and cognitive science to a growing understanding of human perception, emotion, behavior and responses to the built environment. Donate anything you can to help us create the important film, "The Nature of Architecture" this Fall 2026.

All those who donate $200 USD or more will be included in the movie brochure, in the sponsor credits and on the MB website. Those who donate $1,000 or more will be invited to the movie premiere and dinner, included in the movie credits, movie brochure, poster, website and other MB publications. The donor's full name (and company name) including a company logo and hyperlink will be represented in all media. We will include Company Logos of all donors on the official movie poster and in the video teaser (donations of $1,000 or more). We will thank all donors who contribute $2,000 or more in the speeches and opening remarks, during the movie premiere, and in the movie teaser, as well. Thanks for your help!

Join Moving Boundaries Collaborative this October 12-17 in Kyoto, Japan to take part in one of the most important films ever made about groundbreaking research being carried out at the interface of human sciences, architecture, urban planning and design. The shift to ethical life-centered design is here. We are making a film, directed by award-winning filmmakers Croci and Siberini (Bologna, Italy) at the MB Global Symposium and Course on neuroarchitecture that will shine a light on the bold, compassionate work of every researcher, designer, artist, and practitioner gathered with us in Kyoto - Voices and discoveries from cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, sociology, architecture, urban planning and the design arts, woven into a single, urgent story.

MB Japan is sold out for in-person attendance. Join MB Japan remotely this October and be part of the movement. More than 100 participants from 35+ countries have already registered for the Global Symposium and Course in Kyoto, Japan.
