Ana Mombiedro Integrates Neuroscience into Architectural Design for Educational Spaces

Ana Mombiedro, an architect, has focused on merging neuroscience with architectural design since 2014, developing practical frameworks for educational environments. She earned her architecture degree from Universidad San Pablo CEU in 2014, followed by a specialization in Neuroscience and Perception at Duke University from 2014 to 2017, and completed a teaching master's at Universidad Internacional de Valencia in 2018. Her recent studies include a master's in educational neuropsychology. Mombiedro collaborates internationally with Kidzink Office of Design and Architecture (KODA), a firm specializing in learning architecture with projects across multiple countries, where she contributes to designing and researching new spatial models for schools. Her work spans professional practice, teaching, and research, with numerous international conferences and congresses on neuroarchitecture. She has authored books and essays, such as 'Neuroarquitectura: aprendiendo a través del espacio,' and continues to publish internationally on applying neuroscience to learning space design. The interview discusses her career, the growth of neuroarchitecture as a field, and how brain science can transform spatial design and habitation.
