“We shape our buildings; thereafter, they shape us. In the intricate maze of the mind, every wall, every corridor, reflects not just our vision, but our very being. It is in the spaces we create, that the tapestry of human thought finds its mirror.”
Blaatryk is an exciting journey into uncharted territories where architecture and cognitive science come together.
Through their podcast “Blueprints of Perception” and collection of intriguing scientific papers in the upcoming “Curiosity Cache,” experienced architect Anders Barslund and devoted scientist Zakaria Djebara aim to unveil profound insights into how our surroundings shape our sensory and visual perceptions, helping us create spaces that genuinely cater to human neurological needs.
Their journey is fueled by unending curiosity and a deep-seated belief in the uplifting power of the spaces we create and inhabit. They are dedicated to enhancing our collective experience and uplifting the human spirit through their explorations.

PODCAST
Blueprints of Perception
The podcast where architecture meets neuroscience. Join us as we journey through leading architectural studios and cutting-edge cognitive science labs, exploring how empirical data shapes our built environments and delves into the mysteries of human sensory experiences. In each episode, we uncover the intricate dance between physical spaces and the mind's perception, bridging the gap between the tangible structures we inhabit and the natural world we perceive.
Episode 1
The Anthropologist
Johanne Mose Entwistle, partner and anthropologist, takes us on a deep dive into how the Danish studio AART’s ‘Effekt’ department gathers and systematizes relevant scientific research for the designers to use during and after shaping their projects.
Episode 2
On Neuro-architecture
Claudio Muca, an architect at the Danish studio CEBRA, shares his journey, story, and passion for a neurological approach to defining architecture, especially learning spaces. His venture is solidified into a research/knowledge summarizing book and initiative called WISE..
Episode 3
The Scientist
I recently interviewed my fellow host, Zakaria Djebara, a Postdoc at Aalborg University. During our conversation, he shared insights into the scientific aspects of conducting research. Together, we discussed the current state of research on creating and living in the built environment, the challenges it faces, and the potential future directions.
