Research reaching practice
Professor Amir’s neuroarchitecture work is used in a public planning submission to support arguments for daylight, natural airflow and protection from noise in housing.
How the research was used
The submission refers readers to the ArchitectureNow feature on Professor Amir and the AUT team alongside other design-and-health resources. It uses that research communication when arguing that housing design should protect residents’ wellbeing.
The documented contribution
This documents residents’ use of research in planning advocacy; it does not establish council adoption, an approval outcome or Professor Amir’s involvement in the application.
Research and coauthor credit
The feature discusses Professor Amir, Professor Ali GhaffarianHoseini and Dr Zohreh Doborjeh at AUT. Preserve the original team attribution; the public submission is written by residents.
