In this conversation Anjan Chatterjee explores how our brains respond to aesthetics - not just in art, but in places and objects, and how aesthetic choices shape our daily lives.

In their studies of architectural environments, Chatterjee and his team identified three key dimensions that shape our experience of space: coherence, fascination, and hominess. He emphasizes the importance of multisensory experiences (sound, smell, touch) and biophilic design (connecting nature to built environments). According to Anjan Chatterjee, design is not just functional or visual: it profoundly shapes how we feel, learn, heal, and connect as humans.
