MoBI: Enabling the investigation of architectural affordance with virtual reality

In this showcase, we highlight what how architectural differences in our surroundings impact our well-being and mental state. The research is led by Dr. Zakaria Djebbara and his team at Aalborg University, Denmark. Dr. Djebbara has explored concepts in the domain of architecture and philosophy and aspires to develop a foundation for architects to understand the neurophysiological impact of their designs during routine, day-to-day tasks. This motivation has allowed him to become a pioneer in this research domain, and his research projects have received several awards. Noteworthy in his list of achievements, is the MoBI award conferred to him in 2020 and the Spar Nord Foundation’s Research Prize awarded to him in 2021.
