From its beginnings in 2002, ANFA has bridged neuroscience and architecture — hosting research, workshops, and conferences that explore how the built environment shapes human experience.

Over two decades later, the dialogue has grown into a global movement.

Now, in its 7th biennial edition, ANFA 2025 brings architects, scientists, and designers together to address today’s most urgent challenges: climate, inclusivity, health, technology, and education.
