The WISE Journal

The WISE Journal investigates the dynamic relationship between architecture, humans, and human activities in learning and work environments. The publication brings into conversation different scientific disciplines and some of the world's foremost thinkers. This extensive mixed-media journal offers its readers food for thought on how to translate this cross-disciplinary exploration into fulfilling, long-lasting architecture – intentionally stimulating spaces that support productivity, learning, and well-being. The e-book contains a series of interviews in video and podcast format alongside numerous illustrations that support articles, case studies, and essays. For in-depth readers, the publication provides hundreds of pages of text with thorough references to peer-reviewed articles.

- Ben Nelson, Founder, Minerva University


"The WISE Journal has identified a set of important topics whose relationship to one another can benefit from appropriate examples and thoughtful reflections."

- Howard Gardner, Harvard Graduate School of Education



"The WISE Journal brings into conversation the many diverse disciplines involved in the design of intentional spaces. This cross-pollination of research, theory, insights and practice is essential to advancing architecture for wellbeing and lifelong learning."

- Susan Magsamen, Executive Director, International Arts + Mind Lab
