Applying Neuroscience to the Architectural Features of Masonic Temples
Join Square & Compass in speaking with Prof. Andrea de Paiva, founder of NeuroAU & Professor of Neurology/Built Spaces.
In April 2021, Square & Compass was honoured to speak with Prof. Andrea de Paiva, founder of NeuroAU & Professor of Neurology/Built Spaces, about the application of neuroscientific principles to architecture and built environments (including Masonic Temples).
The relationship between a built environment and its users is a fascinating topic; especially over the last year as COVID-19 related restrictions have greatly altered the way a user interacts with his/her built environments.
This is especially true when considering the way a Freemason interacts with his Masonic Temple.

The full interview is available on the Square & Compass YouTube channel or the Square & Compass Podbean channel.
Square & Compass regularly examines the architectural history and traditions of Masonic Temples, through conversations with academics, architects, and heritage professionals.
Square & Compass also regularly speaks with administrators of architecturally unique and valuable Masonic properties, including the Detroit Masonic Temple, (Michigan) the Norfolk Masonic Temple, (Virginia) and the Bay City Scottish Rite Cathedral (Michigan).
