Abstract/Description
The Intentional Spaces Roadmap (Roadmap) is a call to action to build a new interdisciplinary field focused on envisioning, designing, and creating environments—both physical and virtual—that intentionally support human health, connection, creativity, learning, and well-being. While this movement embraces insights from neuroarchitecture, it extends beyond it to incorporate diverse perspectives from psychology, sociology, environmental design, public health, and cultural studies—creating a holistic approach to shaping spaces that truly serve people and communities.
