This talk explores how the environments we grow up and live in our spaces and places deeply influence our emotions, decisions, and sense of identity. Drawing from personal stories, psychology studies, and the emerging field of neuroarchitecture, it highlights how thoughtful design can improve well-being, behavior, and connection. It invites us to see architecture not just as structures, but as powerful tools to shape who we are and who we can become.
