The Designed Mind:
The Neuro-Environment Podcast
“Building better environments from the brain up.”
A new podcast exploring the profound connection between our environments and our wellbeing.
Welcome to 'The Designed Mind'
In a world that moves faster than ever, we often forget the power of the spaces we inhabit. How does the design of a room, a building, or a garden affect our minds? What is the invisible architecture that shapes our healing, our creativity, and our sense of community?
This podcast is born from over a decade of work in creating transformative healing environments. Now, we're opening up the conversation. Join host, William Butterworth, as we sit down with the world's most insightful minds to explore the intersection of design, science, and the human spirit. We'll go beyond theory to uncover the practical, the poetic, and the powerful ways our surroundings shape our lives.
Our Inaugural Conversations
We are thrilled to launch with two pioneering thinkers who are redefining our understanding of intelligence and design:
-
Professor Paco Calvo (University of Murcia): A leading voice in plant neurobiology, Paco will join us to discuss the radical concept of plant consciousness and how we can design landscapes that are truly in dialogue with the living world. 🌱
-
Professor Andrew Adamatzky (Unconventional Computing Laboratory): Andrew will share his groundbreaking research using slime mould for computation, revealing profound lessons about resilience, adaptation, and network design that can be applied to our own built environments.
Who will be joining the conversation?
Each episode will feature a dialogue with the pioneers and practitioners who are shaping the future of intentional spaces. We'll be talking to:
-
Pioneering Architects & Designers who are embedding neuroscience and empathy into their blueprints.
-
Leading Neuroscientists & Psychologists who can unravel the science of how our brains perceive and react to our environment.
-
Holistic Health Practitioners who use space as an active component in their healing modalities.
-
Artists & Philosophers who challenge our perceptions and help us see the world around us with new eyes.
-
