The first session of Moving Boundaries will focus on evidence-based design for health. Farrow and Valentine will lecture on salutogenic design, showing projects around the world and telling us about strategies for combining research and practice. Analysis of case studies and a conversation with the audience will follow. The joint lecture by Farrow and Valentine will be followed by a talk by Kurimoto, about how the scenery of a Japanese garden functions as a psychological catalyst, asking the observer to see beyond the surface. This lecture will examine the Japanese view of nature and its historical manifestations in garden design. Kurimoto will demonstrate ideas from his talk during on-site visits in historic gardens of Kyoto the next day.🕑: 03:00 AM - 06:00 PMMoving Boundaries Japan Global Symposium and Course - DAY 2Host: Takaya KurimotoInfo: OCTOBER 13 - Session 2: Restorative Design: How Environments Shape Cognitive, Affective and Physiological Restoration.

Robinson’s lecture will illuminate Japanese spatial concepts and their possible interpretation in contemporary design practice. Olszewska will present restorative design as a bridge between these spatial traditions and emerging research in neuroscience. Together we will explore how environments shape cognitive, affective, and physiological restoration.🕑: 02:00 PM - 06:00 PMMoving Boundaries Japan Global Symposium and Course - DAY 3Host: Anjan ChatterjeeInfo: OCTOBER 14 - Session 3: Practical Strategies for Bridging Neuroarchitecture Research and Practice: Challenges of Cross-Disciplinary Work.

The fourth session of Moving Boundaries will be developed at the interface of psychology, philosophy, sociology, architecture, and psychiatry. There is a wisdom to be found in philosophies of ‘nothingness’ such as those developed by the Kyoto School. They invite us to approach architecture not as an exterior structure but as a field of lived relations, and space as something that shapes us as much as we shape it. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/kyoto/moving-boundaries-global-symposium-course-kyoto-october-12-16-2026/100001991493294052 - **Event Categories**: workshops, health-wellness, science-fair, art, food-drinks, meditation - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 9 hours - Location: Kyoto Seika University - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 10, max: 69, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Kyoto - **state**: KY - **country**: Japan - **location**: Kyoto Seika University - **lat**: 35.07311079999999 - **long**: 135.7703369 - **full address**: Kyoto Seika University, 137, Kyoto, Japan ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Moving Boundaries Global Symposium + Course - Kyoto, October 12-16, 2026 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/9a4459e0bb7e6c0aa92252fc408f6f6b5f2b749aa5877f23d9eb2a63b3ea5f9b-rimg-w1200-h675-dc010101-gmir.jpg?v=1781323569 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Moving Boundaries Global Symposium + Course - Kyoto, October 12-16, 2026 being held? - **A:** Moving Boundaries Global Symposium + Course - Kyoto, October 12-16, 2026 takes place on Mon, 12 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 am to Fri, 16 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm at Kyoto Seika University, 137, Kyoto, Japan. - **Q**: Who is organizing Moving Boundaries Global Symposium + Course - Kyoto, October 12-16, 2026? - **A:** Moving Boundaries Global Symposium + Course - Kyoto, October 12-16, 2026 is organized by Tatiana Berger, Director, Moving Boundaries. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
