Mizan Rambhoros & Alvaro Puertas | Conversations on Conscious Design

The eighth conversation about Conscious Design brings Mizan Rambhoros and host Alvaro Puertas to discuss their insights in relation to science-informed design, in particular, Mizan’s interdisciplinary and holistic approach as reflected in her LIVE-LOVE project.

Quotes from Mizan Rambhoros:

“To me, conscious design is about engaging our holistic intelligence and holistic approaches in making and experiencing our worlds, including the outer places in which we reside and the inner spaces that reside within us.”

“My niche focus on psycho-spatial experiences purposes to understand and express the interconnected psychological and spatial dimensions by which built environments affect our subjective wellbeing with the aim towards mental wellness.”

“The materiality and ineffability entangled in comprehending, crafting, and communicating experiences of built environments necessitates a balance of design thinking and scientific method, navigated through curiosity, conversation, contemplation, compassion, confidence, courage, and collaboration.”

“Enriching quality of life experiences in cities lies in an aesthetic value–of interrelated arts, design, and characteristic qualities of a place and the perceptive, cognitive, and affective qualities of people–that is key to unlocking an uplifting spirit of both place and people.”

“I advocate “humanity-informed values”, where each of us can draw on the essence of our being to shape resilient and restorative experiences in our shared planetary wellbeing.”
