David Borkenhagen PhD on time, space and Jungian architecture

He completed his PhD in Psychology at the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Dr. Colin Ellard and holds a Bachelors in Neuroscience from McGill University.

Examples include developing a data-driven methodology to measure liveability in inner-city communities, conducting user evaluations of aging-in-place laneway housing, and conducting mock-up evaluations of a universal operating room design for the Vancouver General Hospital.

His writing has appeared in Aeon, Psyche, and the blog of the Journal of the History of Ideas.
