Abstract Neuroscience and phenomenology are valuable tools for architects who wish to increase our engagement with the world as a commonly lived nexus, rather than as a locus of showing‐off and design‐branding. Andrew Todd , architect, argues that our connection with the world can be extended by deeper consideration of plants and their role in architecture.
