Research Associates - ANFA - Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture
The Board of Directors of the Academy in one of its strategic planning sessions, conceived of the idea of establishing a program of Research Associates, people who would work for one or more years in neuroscience laboratories or architectural firms where they would gain knowledge of either field that was new to them. Thus, someone with a background in architecture would work in a neuroscience lab, or a neuroscientist would work in an architectural firm. During this time they would also seek ways to convey to the members of their professional base what they were learning.
Activities - Research Projects Dr. Eduardo Macagno , ANFA's immediate past president and Professor of Biological Sciences at University of California San Diego (UCSD), and Dr. Eve Edelstein , ANFA Research Fellow and President of Innovative Design Science , and colleagues at UCSD have been pioneering research on how to find one's way in the built environment.Their approach utilizes cutting-edge scientific methodologies to inform research-based design. The team has made use of UCSD's Calit2 'StarCAVE', an innovative 3D, fully immersive and human scale virtual reality facility, to study human reactions to various architectural elements.

Lean, green, clean: Investing in San Diego as a hub of clean tech Fifty years ago, the city leaders of San Diego made a decision that turned out to be a watershed idea. The federal government gave the city the title to land that was housing then-unused Navy barracks, which were then converted into space for scientific research and product development. Property that could have become waterfront condos instead grew to house the Salk Institute and the University of California San Diego. It is the resulting convergence of more than 50 research institutions—and intellectual capital—compressed into a 2-mile radius that is the driving force behind

Social Media for Social Change | sm4sc.com |
The social media world has proven that, though still a young and small community within a multitude of industries, we have the power to exact great change. Social media has broken down walls and created conversations. IBM does product testing in Second Life. Old college classmates reunite on Facebook. Zappos does intra-office communication via Twitter.The SDAT workshop relies on substantial community and stakeholder engagement and is a very intense and interactive process. Through community input at a public meeting and focus groups, ideas for addressing critical social, economic, and ecological issues will be translated into different concepts for neighborhood renewal. These will be highly visual, with plenty of maps, sketches, and diagrams illustrating sustainable neighborhood renewal. The Sustainable Design Assessment Team (SDAT) initiative is a national, competitive program of the American Institute of Architects. The program is a community assistance program that focuses on the principles of sustainability. SDATs bring teams of volunteer professionals (such as architects, urban designers, planners, landscape architects, hydrologists, economists, attorneys, and others) to assist community decision-makers and stakeholders to help them develop a vision and framework for a sustainable future.
