Initiation of a large-scale research based on a thesis of the neuroscientist Wolf Singer suggesting a comparison between the architecture of the human brain as model for complex urban structures. The presented project marks a first step and intermediate result of this interdisciplinary research. Being an architectural and urbanistic exploration of parallels between the structure and growth of the city and the human brain the BRAIN CITY LAB aims to find solutions – provided they exist – for strategies on the development of cities.

Zago Architecture, with offices in Los Angeles and Detroit, brings open-ended, creative inquiry to disciplinary concerns in architecture. Noted for its prescient articulation of emerging sensibilities, the practice weds quasi-autonomous aesthetic studies to the art of making buildings and cities. In doing so, Zago Architecture reaffirms the substantial and productive link amongst art, architecture and urbanism. Andrew Zago, principal of Zago Architecture, has over twenty years of professional experience in architecture, urbanism, and education. He is currently design faculty at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI- Arc). He has also taught at Cornell University, the University of Michigan, UCLA and Ohio State University and from 2003 to 2007 he was the founding director of the Master of Architecture program at the City College of New York.
