This article arises from the review of books and research related to sustainability in terms of architecture, philosophy, psychology and neuroscience. It deals with the ecological problem from Felix Guattari’s ecosophical approach (environmental, social and mental ecology) and proposes transdisciplinary paths for its fulfillment. It also presents the relationship between mental ecology and the existential, artistic and ethical dimension of architecture based on emotional neuroscience. Finally, it raises design sensitization through the transdisciplinary knowledge of human beings in order to achieve a sensitive ideation in architectural proposals.
