Whether you like a place that you are living in or are required to work in, like a companies office, will depend on its design elements. Things like the materials used in construction, the furnishing for use and display, and together creates an ambiance that will affect your psychology and the way you work or react to events surrounding you.
Architects must go out of their way to find out the requirements of a client for space, the colors they are comfortable with, the styles of furniture that suit their lives, and other things that can help to meet the psychological desires of the client. This makes for a definite connection between architecture and the psychology of the individual. During our daily lives, one is constantly moving in and out of various buildings and the space you go through can always affect your moods.
A dark unlighted area can make you feel gloomy, whereas a well-lit and well-ventilated area can make you feel welcome. Cramped and closed areas can promote a sense of claustrophobia, where large open spaces give you the freedom to move about and feel free. There is a rare person who is not appreciative of a beautiful space and enjoys being in it. Where groups of workers can huddle together and no one is tethered to any particular desk, teamwork is fostered and creativity can soar. But Innovative Office Solutions cautions that too much of a good thing might be too much.
People still need areas for private and quiet work as well as closed-door meetings. People gravitate toward natural light, and offices with plenty of it have healthier workers. Office buildings with banks of glorious windows are more than just a pretty sight.
Research has proven time and again that natural light enhances mood and improves productivity. Good design with ample natural light plus low or no cubicles that allow everyone to benefit from the sunshine can actually help people work better, and sleep better at night. Psychology Today explains that workers who receive natural light during their 9 to 5 are more alert during the day.
And their Circadian rhythms are healthier, too. In some circles, this is point-counterpoint. To others, verbal ping-pong. In my mind, Robert and I represent two philosophies.
Belief in architectural or environmental determinism, the idea that human actions result from the external stimuli of built environments or climate, is a necessary component. The other notion takes a behavioral science point of view, where human agency makes the greatest contribution. Evolution figures in both stances, but I am personally less interested in what drives people than what to do about it. One only need look around to be convinced. Premodern buildings were the effective change agents architects now seek, and stories are the reason why.
Historically, buildings have been tightly woven into origin and cultural metanarratives. Robert writes of learning in his article. We gain knowledge in two fundamentally different ways: didactic instruction and direct experience.
The first conveys information indirectly, the sorts of facts-and-figures lessons youth are asked to memorize and regurgitate.
As the population in large metropolitan areas around the globe continues to grow, city planners and architects need to take into account how these environments should be integrated into an ever-changing landscape of old and new. More importantly, how it affects the inhabitants of the new space. The focus on the psychological effects of greenscapes, parks, and building design all has become key design features in urban spaces to ensure a high quality of life, sustainability, and positive emotions.
A recent publication [3] combined expertise from landscape architects, urban designers, and neuroscience to research and analyze the eye-tracked patterns of inhabitants. These unconscious reactions to streetscape reinforce the need for coherent design even in high-rise environments. A recent publication into the cognitive process of design, proposes a new framework for understanding how the design process starts, from the designer.
The study combines three paradigmatic approaches into a framework consisting of design cognition, design physiology, and design neurocognition. A summary of the measurements with the different methodologies is reviewed in the paper and can give researchers a new perspective in understanding the human cognition process in designing. This can give insight into brain-cognition interfaces, AI, machine learning, and innovative tools to aid in the designing process.
Ultimately, replicating a type of creative process to make architecture more responsive, more captivating, and more emotional, leading to a memorable experience with the environment. Design in computer-generated environments such a VR and AR are seeing an upsurge as this medium has gained popularity. A recent study [4] has tried to develop a new framework to bring an understanding of architecture and neuroscience interactions in designed facilities and quantification of the impact of design on the human experience.
