Dynamic Interactions of Environment-Behavior and NeuroscienceMay 27-30, 2015Westin BonaventureLos Angeles, CAEDRA46LosAngeles Sponsors and ExhibitorsThe Environmental Design Research Association gratefully acknowledges the following 2015 sponsors for their generous nancial and in-kind support:Urban Communication FoundationBall State UniversityRadford UniversityEDRA Organizational MembersAmerican Art ResourcesAndrews UniversityBBH DesignHKS IncKansas State UniversityKuwait UniversityRutgers Center for Green BuildingThe Pennsylvania State UniversityTexas Tech University - College of ArchitectureUniversite de MontrealUniversity of Colorado Boulder Program in Environmental DesignUniversity of Idaho - College of Art & ArchitectureUniversity of ManitobaUrban Communication FoundationWorkingSpacesEDRA PlacemakersGowri Betrabet GulwadiKeith Diaz MoorePeter HourihanSusan MazerLynn PaxsonEDRA WayfndersSherry AhrentzenCherif AmorDavid BoeckPaula HorriganRobin MooreKatherine MorrisThierry RosenheckApril SpivackDan StokolsRich Elliot Wener1Our concept for this years theme: Brainstorm: Dynamic Interactions of Environment-Behavior and Neuroscience, came together quite quickly. Both of us had already been thinking about how rapidly developing advances in neuroscience might inform our knowledge base and practice of the relationships between the built environment and human behavior. Locating the conference inLos Angeles put us within a comfortable drive of at least four institutions at the forefront of linking architecture and neuroscience. The time and place were perfect to create a venue to welcome neuroscientists, scholars, and design professionals to an interdisciplinary gathering that we hope will enrich and invigorate our research work.In line with the conference theme, we actively sought what we will call strong neuroscience submissions those that used constructs and methods used by neuroscientists and their collaborators from other disciplines. While we were not able to ll an entire track with neuroscience presentations as we had rst planned, we hope that you nd the numerous sessions that are in the program to reect the best traditions of scholarly research.While we have chosen to highlight relevant research in neuroscience, you will nd that the program continues to reect the diverse and broad interests that characterize EDRA. We have been able to assemble numerous sessions for a number of topics; including design that promotes health in our buildings, neighborhoods, and cities; the impacts of natural features in our urban settings; designing for human behavior that supports sustainability; cultural aspects of design; design education; the impacts of healthcare settings on treatment outcomes; and effective schools and childrens environments. These are only the most frequently occurring topics along with neuroscience, and we are sure that everyone will nd numerous topics that appeal to their interests in the balanceof the program.Those traveling from outside Southern California will also nd opportunities to experience the unique character of Los Angeles: the real, the imagined, and their inherent tensions. There is a plenary session that presents and exploration of the diverse intersections between cinema, cities, and environmental design that plays off the citys best known industry. Then there is a mobile session to two parks of the Big Wild, a successful development that overcame greed and clandestine relationships. Finally, we want to welcome the members of EDRAs sibling organizations that share our goal of advancing the E-B body of knowledge. For many years we have enjoyed collegial relationships with IAPS, MERA, and PAPER. This year we reached out to the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture (ANFA) to help us spread word of this conference, review submissions, and share the work of its members. We hope this years EDRA conference will further strengthen the growing collaboration between ANFA and the other organizations that share the same core interests.With the welcomes conveyed, it is time to turn out attention to sharing, learning, and networking. We hope you nd the conference both enriching and enjoyable.Sincerely,Greg Allen Barker, AIANisha A.

Using a variety of powerful experimental approaches, and focusing efforts on the information processing capacities of the brain, we have begun to develop an empirical understanding of how design features inuence the acquisition, organization and use of information present in the built environment. Based on this understanding, we argue that selective pressures over the course of human evolution have yielded a visual brain that has highly specic and tunable organizational properties for representing key statistics of the environment, such as commonly occurring features and conjunctions of features. Simple visual pattern types, which are commonly used in architectural and decorative design, mirror these environmental statistics. These patterns are readily seen without scrutiny, yielding a sense of order because they tap into existing neuronal substrates. A fuller understanding of these relationships between organizational properties of the brain and visual environmental statistics may lead to novel design principles. Thomas D. Albright is Professor and Conrad T. Prebys Chair in Vision Research at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, where he joined the faculty in 1986. Albright is also Director of the Salk Institute Center for the Neurobiology of Vision, Adjunct Professor of Psychology and Neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego, and Visiting Centenary Professor at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. Albright is an authority on the neural basis of visual perception, memory and visually guided behavior, probing the relationship between the activity of brain cells and perceptual state. His laboratory seeks to understand how visual perception is affected by attention, behavioral goals, and memories of previous experiences. His discoveries address the ways in which context inuences visual perceptual experience and the mechanisms of visual associative memory and visual imagery. An important goal of this work is the development of therapies for blindness and perceptual impairments resulting from disease, trauma or developmental disorders of the brain. A second aim of Dr. Albrights work is to use our growing knowledge of brain, perception and memory to inform design in architecture and the arts, and to leverage societal decisions and public policy. Albright received a Ph.D. in psychology and neuroscience from Princeton University. He is a recipient of numerous honors for his work, including the National Academy of Sciences Award for Initiatives in Research. Albright is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and an associate of the Neuroscience Research Program. He is past-president (2012-2014) of the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture, a member of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Science, Technology, and Law, and serves on the Scientic Advisory Committee for the Indian National Brain Research Center. 12L OS ANGE L E SPLENARY SESSION: Friday, May 29, 2015 10:30am-12:00pmCINEMA AND THE PEOPLE-ENVIRONMENT RELATIONSHIP: CITIES ON THE SILVER (AND OTHER) SCREENSSponsored by Our vision of the city is not dependent upon being there because media take us there. Our preconceptions precede an experiential reality. The photographer and reporter, the computer and the media take us there. We have all been there without having been there. The media/city relationship is central to understanding these sites as lived communicative environments. The Cinema is a uniquely signicant and powerful medium inuence on perceptions of the city. Cities are frozen in time by cinematic imagery. How do lmmakers make use of urban spaces? How does the cinema shape our conception of urban people-environment relationships? How is the architect and urban planner inuenced by the cinematic. This plenary will explore the diverse intersections between cinema, cities, and environmental design. Moderator Gary Gumpert (Ph.D, Wayne State University) is Emeritus Professor of Communication at Queens College of the City University of New York and President of the Urban Communication Foundation.

With backgrounds in environment-behavior studies, housing, architecture and landscape architecture, presenters Sherry Ahrentzen and Kim Steele faced a challenge in 2008 when asked to consider the best ways to design housing for adults on the autism spectrum and what the evidence showed as most effective strategies for doing so because the research was thin and examples scarce. Since then they have developed a research-informed approach that they will share with the audience, demonstrating how neurobiological/perceptual research ndings of autism often reverberate with fundamental environment-behavior principles and theories. They will draw on the work described in their book At Home with Autism: Designing for the Spectrum, being published in summer 2015. A number of architects and housing developers have used their work to design and construct residences for adults with autism, and examples of this built and occupied work will be presented. Following the presentation, discussant Eve Edelstein will comment upon the merits, limitations, and potentialities of the process from the perspective of neuroscience and the emerging changes in the design profession; and bring to the discussion a neuro-architectural process that she developed and used in practice that applied game-changing neuroscientic and engineering technologies and long-standing methods from environmental psychology. Sherry Ahrentzen, PhD,, is a Shimberg Professor of Housing Studies at the University of Florida. Prior, she was Associate Director of Research at the Stardust Center for Affordable Homes, Arizona State University; and before then, Professor of Architecture at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Dr. Ahrentzen is a recognized leader in understanding the social justice dimensions within the built environment and design education, championing the needs of underserved and marginalized populations who are often left out of the design and planning process. Her research focusing on housing and community design that fosters the physical, social and economic health of households has been published extensively in journals and books, and presented at national and international conferences. She has over 60 published articles, chapters, and reports, and has received more than 30 research and instructional grants from various agencies. In 2003 she received the Distinguished Professor Award from the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture; in 2009 she received the Career Award from the Environmental Design Research Association; and in 2014, she was the recipient of the ARCC James Haecker Award for Distinguished Leadership in Architectural Research. Kim Steele is Director of Urban and Health Initiatives at The Elemental Group where she works with communities and organizations to develop policies and strategies to increase opportunities for healthy, active living.

Edelstein is faculty at the NewSchool of Architecture & Design, and as a member of the AIA Design + Health Research Consortium, leads an innovative translational center for healthy environments, a collaborative with the University California San Diego and international leaders in planning and public health.L OS ANGE L E S14Mobile SessionsEDRA46 Los Angeles is pleased to offer Mobile Sessions with in situ education sessions that highlight Los Angeles culture and history. All mobile sessions will convene in the San Diego Registration area at 8:30am on Wednesday and at 1:30pm on Saturday, before proceeding to the transportation option available for their destination.Wednesday, May 27, 8:30am-5:00pmCROSS CULTURAL ISSUES MOBILE INTENSIVE: Share/Collaborate/Learn/Advance: Democratic Design Without BordersSESSION LEADER: Jeffrey Hou, Ph.D., M.Arch, M.L.A., Professor, University of Washington Democratic design in forms of citizen participation and community engagement has risen in prominence in areas around the world. From North America to East Asia, community design practitioners and advocates have made signicant progress in democratizing environmental design and planning practice in one project after another. Founded in Berkeley in 1998, the Pacic Rim Community Design Network has been a forum that facilitates continued exchange and learning between community designers in East Asia and North America. The network has further led to active collaboration between individuals across the Pacic. The purpose of this Intensive is to bring the ongoing exchange to EDRA to engage a broader audience beyond the Pacic Rim. More specically, the program is intended to foreground democratic design as continuously evolving practice that can be enriched through critical sharing and exchange of experiences, success stories, and pitfalls. This daylong Intensive will include presentations by practitioners and scholars, roundtable discussion, and a eld trip to a local site in Los Angeles. Topics will include broad reections on democratic design practices in diverse settings as well as case studies of projects that address issues ranging from the use of social media to the participation of elderly and young people. The daylong session will focus simultaneously on how democratic design can transcend border and how such practices operate in particular cultural, geographical, and institutional contexts. Presenters will come from Hong Kong, Japan, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, and throughout the United States. Participants are invited to join actively in the discussion.Saturday, May 30, 1:30pm-5:30pmGERONTOLOGY MOBILE SESSION: Sustainable Connections - Aging in Community in Los AngelesSESSION LEADER: Emily Roberts, Ph.D., M.A., M.Arch, Assistant Professor, Oklahoma State UniversityThe impending age wave can be a creative motivator and Los Angeles has both a creative and aging population who wish to remain in community. While policy in urban communities like Los Angeles should be accessible, adaptable and healthful for older residents, it also needs to be sustainable for healthy environments in terms of energy, water use, and waste. Crafting communities that address all of these issues concurrently is a special challenge for planners, and designers, creating national and international opportunities for change. This tour of two Los Angeles landmarks will include one creatively renovated historic hotel as well as new construction housing in a vibrant arts community. The rst stop will be the Dunbar Hotel, an adaptive reuse project which is now senior and family apartments in Watts. The Dunbar, which opened in 1928, was designated as a city Historic-Cultural Landmark in 1974 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places two years later. The original Art Deco motif has been preserved through a collaboration between Thomas Safran & Associates, the nonprot Coalition for Responsible Community Development and the citys Housing Authority and Community Redevelopment Agency. Once home to the LA African- American music scene, the hotel welcomed guests like Cab Calloway,Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong. There are 115 units and the $30-million renovation includes another 42 apartments in two neighboring buildings that have also been refurbished for low-income family housing. The second stop will be the North Hollywood (NoHo) Senior Arts Colony, a new construction senior residence apartment community for active senior artists. Residents are given the opportunityto live in housing within an artistic community with courses and tools to engage in theater, art, exploration and education. This is a $42 million community with 126 one and two bedroom unitsfor renters 62 and older. 15Saturday, May 30, 1:30pm-5:30pmPRESERVATION OF HERITAGE MOBILE SESSION: Palos Verdes Estates: The Romantic Dreams of a New California CitySESSION LEADER: Christine Edstrom OHara, Associate Professor, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis ObispoThe evolution of the city of Palos Verdes Estates extends over 75 years and continues today. The site for the new city has a storied land-use history: from Native American villages to Spanish ranchos, and home to Portuguese whalers and Japanese farmers. However, even with centuries of diverse land occupation, the landscape was still largely un-developed by the early 1900s. Beginning in 1914, The Palos Verdes Project was designed as a complete new town, the city developed during a period of critical regionalism. Its aim was to showcase the native California landscape and a new approach to design in architecture and planning, specic to the history and ecology of California. Modeled after Mediterranean city, architectural and landscape design, Palos Verdes Estates blended the design concepts of developer Frank Vanderlip, the Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture rm, city planner Charles Cheney and architect Myron Hunt. Looking to other regions with the same ecology provided a design framework to develop a new American typology uniquely Californian. Together their 1920s visions resulted in Palos Verdes Estates representing the paradigm of an American expression of Mediterranean design and an early ecological approach to landscape design in arid California. And through architectural control, the historic design has remained intact since the citys inception. Saturday, May 30, 1:30pm-5:30pmWAYFINDING MOBILE SESSION: Google Glass Navigation - Testing Parahippocampal Place Area Involvement*SESSION LEADER: Paul Platosh, PhD Scholar, Design and Human Environment, Geospatial Information Systems, Oregon State UniversityHuman waynding behavior is a complex interaction of perception, spatial cognition, sense of direction, and memory systems. We employ different strategies to navigate in spaces such as survey, landmark, route, and pointer. Each of these strategies relies on a different form of cognition and to some extent, activates different parts of the brain. Because of the complex nature nature of waynding, humans have long relied on technology to mediate between environment and their spatial recollections. Since GPS and other stimulus-response waynding strategies are less effective at promoting the accurate creation of cognitive maps, could other technological interventions offer better results? The form-factor and interface of an optical head-mounted display (OHMD), like Google Glass, is different than that of hand-held devices, potentially providing more successful cognitive mapping and spatial recall. This session will allow participants to test Google Glass to experience an alternative way of viewing their environment, navigating various waypoints in the neighborhood.*Note: Participants will need to have a 4G smartphone with the ability to download the MyGlass application and activate the Bluetooth capabilities as the Glass can only receive signal when tethered to a 4g cellular network. Saturday, May 30, 1:30pm-5:30pmNATURAL SETTINGS MOBILE SESSION: The Big Wild Wilderness Parks: Sex, Lies, and Real EstateSESSION LEADER: Randy Hester, Director for the Center for Ecological Discovery, University of California BerkeleyThe Big Wild was developed by the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy to provide both wilderness recreation for adjacent communities and migratory support for species such as the mountain lion. Separate community participation processes for each segment and adjacent community served as a foundation for the design and development of the string of parks. Complicating the process were wide variations in different communitys interests, politics, a competing freeway proposal, and hidden agendas and relationships among the parties. Randy Hester will be joined by some original members of the design and development team to describe the process and challenges that had to be overcome for these parks to reach successful completion. The tours will focus on two very different segments: LA96C, a former Nike missile site that utilizes some ruins of the facility in the design and Marvin Braude Mulholland Gateway Park, a major trailhead with gorgeous city and mountain views.L OS ANGE L E S16Continuing Education OpportunitiesEDRA is pleased to be an approved provider of the following continuing education systems:Sessions at EDRA46 Los Angeles that have been approved for continuing education credits are noted in the schedule found on pages 22-31 of this program, in the continuing education certicate found in your registration packet, and indicated on the signage outside each session itself.
