Sarah Williams Goldhagen (born September 5, 1959) is an American author and architecture critic. She sits on the board of the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture and the Advisory Committee for the Intentional Spaces summit convened by the International Arts+ Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins Medical School. Her advocacy for science-informed, human-centered design, her scholarship on modern architecture, her criticism for the ''New Republic'' and ''Architectural Record'', and her writings on the perceptual and social psychology of built environmental experience call for improved architectural and urban design practices and recognition of their profound social impact. She is the author of ''Louis Kahn's Situated Modernism'' (2001), and ''Welcome to Your World: How the Built Environment Shapes Our Lives'' (2017), which the Salk Institute's Terrence Sejnowski says lays "the groundwork for a cognitive neuroscience of architecture."
