The Smelling Brain is an olfactory research framework initiated and directed by Andrea Mammarella.
The practice operates at the intersection of design research, anatomy, and neuroscience, examining how smell functions as a biological, perceptual, and cultural system.
Research is conducted through a combination of theoretical investigation and applied experimentation.
Installations, objects, and olfactory formulations are developed as parallel research formats rather than as separate outputs.
The framework supports long-term inquiry conceived as an open and evolving process.
The Smelling Brain functions as a structure through which research is developed, articulated, and circulated across disciplinary boundaries.
