CREATIVE INSIGHTS
What is Educational Architecture? | |
At MOYA Design Partners, we design educational spaces that optimize learning by aligning with how the brain processes information. Whether for early childhood centers or university campuses, we create environments that inspire and promote lifelong learning. Neuroscientific research shows that natural light, spatial layout, and sensory stimuli significantly affect cognitive function, memory, and well-being. For example, exposure to natural light can improve cognitive performance by 16% and reduce task completion time by 25%. Designing flexible spaces encourages movement, which enhances neural plasticity—crucial for learning. Incorporating biophilic design, which integrates nature, reduces stress and boosts focus, improving both academic and emotional outcomes. MOYA applies these strategies to create functional, supportive environments that foster cognitive growth and social interaction, while ensuring inclusivity to support all learners equitably.

ART & ARCHITECTURE
The Circle of Life | |
In August, we celebrated World Indigenous Day by reflecting on the cultural significance of Indigenous art. Our CEO, Paola Moya, honored the Wayuu people through her piece, Circle of Life, which highlights their traditional weaving practices. This short documentary showcases how Paola integrates cultural narratives into her designs, emphasizing the central role of Indigenous communities in art and architecture. Community, she believes, is the foundation of every project. | |
