Abstract
This paper examines Antoni Gaudí’s Casa Milà (La Pedrera) through the lens of neuroarchitecture, exploring how form, light, and texture shape perception and emotional response. Integrating architectural analysis with neuroscience, it proposes an experimental framework combining EEG, eye-tracking, and behavioral data to assess spatial experience within immersive environments. By linking formal complexity to cognitive and physiological responses, the study reveals how Gaudí’s architecture transcends aesthetics to engage the brain’s sensory and emotional systems. The approach positions his work as a bridge between art, science, and urban creativity, expanding our understanding of architecture as a multisensory cognitive phenomenon.
