Imagine being an architect is the most powerful budget we can think of if you can choose it.

What color
to inspire to see? And how do you communicate with your physical environment? These are questions
you can ask in architecture at planning sessions before designing a proposal.
Architecture psychology is a branch of environmental psychology
Psychology can be described as an introduction to culture, art and architecture. The use of artistic
elements displayed in color, space and quality allows for a satisfying atmosphere. For example, a room
with colored walls allows us to illuminate and brighten the space and make it more part.

Architectural psychology can be described as a branch of environmental or ecological psychology. This


is, in fact, the interaction between man and his environment. This area includes spatial perception,
feasibility, need for life, and satisfaction.

Architecture, a space You can design with everything you can have. Providing you with access to and
access to services provided by natural resources. Architecture psychology with a specific situation has
several specific situations and we can provide you with the services of psychology, engineering,
architecture, planning, and the possibility of consulting and space services. With the possibility that you
can use it to be able to use it, you can have more design and engineering.

The Role of Architectural Psychology in designing pleasurable Environments


Designers rarely exposes themselves to user morale. Of course, designers consider different aspects of
humanity in the design process; however, in building designs they rarely use psychological knowledge
directly. If people do not like a particular environment, they will not be comfortable living in that place.
Whether it's a public space, a shopping mall or a home. Therefore, it is difficult to make decisions for an
environment that is enjoyable, soothing. This is where the role of psychologists and psychologists is
needed.

Research based on architectural psychology


So far, many research has been done to prove the role of environmental psychology and engineering
psychology. Christian Jart focused on curved rather than linear furniture in 2011. According to the study,
which asked people to consider furniture in their rooms, furniture with straight ( sharp ) edges was less
attractive than curved furniture.

In another research, psychologists of the University of British Columbia selected sixty people and tested
them with different types of cognitive tests on red, blue, or neutral fields. The results were amazing.
People were very attentive to red, as well as recognizing spelling mistakes better. This is related to the
association of red with the risk factor, which makes people more aware. Blue resulted in completely
different results. People in the blue group had worse short-term memory performance, but had better
imagination.

The results of architectural psychology research


Psychologists at the Carlson School of Management have found the relationship between ceiling height
and thinking style. According to the research, when people are in a low-ceilinged room, they are quicker
to solve problems they are sentenced to; in the high-ceilinged room, people are better at solving
puzzles. Other findings by psychologists about engineering and architectural space design and planning
further explain the information on the inner psyche that is essential to creating a healthy living space.
1) When people with Alzheimer's have a private room and a personal object around them, they
experience fewer symptoms of anxiety and anxiety and restlessness.
2) Brain development in premature infants can be disrupted by artificial lighting.
3) People can be encouraged to drive more precisely in neighborhoods using psychological measures,
such as the design of narrow roads. Accordingly, without the need for speedometer and street signs, the
overall speed of the car is reduced. The reason is that without a driver's license the drivers may feel on
the road dangerous and eventually slow down.
Therefore, understanding the human spirit is essential to integrating design in the workplace, learning
environments, health facilities, residential environments and retail environments. Because each has its
own specialization that reflects the human mind, need and use.

What is Spatial Cognition?


Spatial cognition relates to the examination of one's knowledge and beliefs about the spatial properties
of objects and events in the world. Knowledge is about knowledge. In humans, the structure and
cognitive process is the part of the mind that emerges from a brain and nervous system within the body
that exists in a social and physical world. Spatial properties include location, size, distance, direction,
separation and connection, shape, pattern and motion. Some of the major structural design mechanisms
that affect the human psyche include: structural form, positive and negative space, color, open space,
open space, light, acoustics, sound structures, green technique and landscape.
People spend the best part of their day in an artificial environment, and often relate their ideas about
space directly to the architecture of their surroundings. Therefore, living space is an essential
component of our health, stress-free life and work. When psychologists and engineers come together,
they can create such a healthy and happy environment.

The impact of architecture on the behavior and motivation of building occupants

One of the most important questions for architects when designing a building is whether architecture
can give residents of a building a positive impetus. In other words, can the architect of a building
indirectly become a positive driver for its occupants? Or can the architecture of a building by itself help
its residents quickly find an effective motivating factor?
The key question in this area is, can architecture be able to change the behavior of residents in a
building in a positive direction? As you know, motivation is what needs to be able to persuade residents
to do something new.

BJ Fogg explains how people fluctuate in motivation on different days of the week or month. In this
presentation, he says that we do not have the motivation points or the logical points of behavior change
in the environment if that happens.
Instead we are easily embedded in the waves of emotion, and thus our level of desire and motivation
returns to ourselves and our momentary sensations. So, when we have a high motivation level, we are
encouraged to do seemingly difficult tasks, and in times where we are less motivated, we prefer simpler
tasks.
With this explanation, the question arises: what is the connection between this and architecture? How
does knowing this allow us to design better?
As the number of sensors installed in different environments increases, it is possible to discover the
different behaviors of the occupants of a building. Accordingly, with the help of architecture, the
behavior of residents can be monitored and motivated by measuring the level of motivation, with
instantaneous changes in the building to encourage healthier and happier behaviors.

It really is possible. This point can be achieved by automatically changing the building and environment
according to the needs of its residents. In addition, by identifying people's behavioral habits, unwanted
behavior can be made into conscious behavior. A reactive architecture, therefore, helps us know when
to make changes, improvements, and amenities for residents to deliver.
As an architect, your building needs to find ways to persuade residents and awareness of the right time
to attract attention and intervention. What this means is the ability to see and hear the behavior
patterns of residents and discover their emotions and moods or levels of motivation.

Ultimately, timing is everything and this is what you need to learn and incorporate into your design
strategy. You should then draw the attention of the building's occupants. And notice that making
positive changes to them is another matter.
Maximize the impact of your plan as much as possible. At this point, a concept such as the possibility of
real-time physical change with technological advances may seem a little overblown, but for example, it
can be improved with the awareness of the residents' sense of well-being, making intelligent and
effective changes in lighting and things like that, better feelings. And inspired them more effectively.
Measuring satisfaction with location
To derive satisfaction from the settlement, it must be sufficiently measured, but this measurement is
not limited to one simple question: "Are you satisfied with your apartment? Satisfaction may vary
depending on the quality of the different parts of the dwelling, such as: space, beauty, light. And the
relationship between the type of occupant use and the quality of the building, such as light for reading
or light for washing dishes
Personal effects
Of course, taste and satisfaction sometimes depend on the resident. In studies of home style, young
people preferred the adolescent as a decorated orphanage, and older adults preferred the simpler type.
Simplicity may not be interesting, but it does make it clear that this is important for older people
because their mobility and perception are more difficult than ever. Young adults love mysterious
accommodation, while older people prefer to find it mysterious in story books where it doesn't make
their lives any more difficult.
One researcher asked 5 to 6 year olds to draw their ideal tile, as they wanted older single-family homes,
although their ideal homes were larger than their current home and had more rest space.

Socioeconomic status:

Satisfaction with housing also relates to socioeconomic status One study found that wealthier
individuals were interested in their quality of beauty, but poorer people considered safety, health, and
family needs as important as beauty.
Gender and Social Role:

Social role affects satisfaction with residence. Women and husbands often disagree on the
appropriateness of their cooking, as more and more people enjoy cooking, the similarities and
differences between men's and women's priorities become more important in the kitchen design. Both
men and women prefer kitchens that are open to both the living room and the dining room to kitchens
that are separated from these spaces, although women who work outside tend to be open to
housewives. They have more.
In a study that asked men and women to design a home, women designed smaller homes with more
social space and curved walls and were more innovative in their designs. When men and women
designed together, the size of the houses was larger and even more curved than the designs of women.
If they have the right to choose, they will choose houses where they can socialize as much as possible.
Another key issue that affects the taste and choice of housing is individual value. Most of us tend to
settle in what we believe can help us achieve the values we want in life.
Wishes for the future: And finally, time for residential satisfaction is important as the person looking to
improve the quality of their home has an impact on satisfaction with the current residence. So people
who are looking forward to improving their home are happier than others living in the same place.

Social impacts
Our interactions with others, our relationships with them, the norms we share with others, private
privacy versus independence, and security play an important role in our housing priorities. In fact, it is
an important part of defining its social function. In one study, people were asked to design a home that
had private privacy or social security. Homes designed for private use had more defined portions, they
had more rooms and thus more corridors and smaller rooms. Homes designed for safety had the
smallest dimensions. A smaller home means less room for defense and residents are closer to each
other which can help defend the home. Houses designed for socializing. Its interiors had more visibility
and curved walls
Physical effects
The physical properties of a home also greatly influence our priorities and satisfaction with the home.
For example, small, crowded houses with solid rooms are less satisfied. Consider four types of physical
form: building form, architectural style, interiors and exterior spaces.

Color
Color has been the subject of much research. But many of them were based on color preference in a
small area without any particular context (no one was asked whether they would prefer to paint their
bedroom or kitchen in a particular color). The color case in Japan concluded that the colors that were
most saturated were rated as better, more beautiful, and more comfortable, and the amount of
brightness depended on how much activity was done in the room. Bright colors were seen as fresh,
lively and brighter colors.
Outdoor:

Outdoor spaces around the house have a huge impact on people's satisfaction. A study by the French
found that greenery adjacent to the neighborhood was the most important factor in neighborhood
satisfaction.
Cultural influences
Houses in different parts of the world are very different, for example, tall cedar houses in British
Columbia in Canada and floating houses in Kashmir show very different There are many houses in
different parts of the country. It can be concluded that people prefer to live in homes that fit their past
culture, because the settlements are a reflection of culture, complementing the behavioral patterns of
that culture. The study of the form of the house has been found in seventy-three different cultures, with
the degree of division of interior spaces depending on the degree of socio-political complexity in that
culture.

Emotional architecture

Architecture is the greatest unwritten document of history, and today we see a new page in a place that
may have been the convoy desert many years ago and is now becoming a large, dense town.

Cities which had not existed before now have to compete with other major cities

Daniel Liebskand is an artist concerned with people's souls and cores. He authorized a set of
characteristics on the relationship between the buildings which we construct and how it makes us feel.

Architecture is not just clay brick , it is the realm of the human and its intellectual and spiritual forms are
decided.
Of example, if your house is inappropriate, it will affect your mind and spirit.

Imagine for a moment: you stay with nothing but a wall in a dark environment, no light, no picture
frame ... Well that certainly gives you an insight into prison, which places your mental health in risk.

 Everything that is closer to nature in the architectural style has more passion for life. But every
building that delights people is definitely a result of the architect's passion for the project.

The matter is not if they feel good with the house. Motivation and motion are at risk. The question is
how much do we associate with our environment? This is a matter of power and purpose, and not
superficial This is something you feel.

Take Frank Gehry, for instance, and then you will appreciate the passion, commitment and hard work
placed into bending a steel component. What do you think Norman Foster Architecture would render a
motion like that in a piece of glass but in love? It is the excitement that leads people to ancient cities.

As an architect, it's my responsibility to make a personal connection -- not just with the physical
environment but how it triggers our memories and emotional responses. Daniel Liebskand

We should be careful even in normal buildings. The structure itself is tough, and we can see when
someone does something just for a quick buck. Carelessness and quietness can be easily found in the
designs

That's the optimism that is lodged in every gesture of architecture. The metaphor of life is rooted in
architecture. To be born, to grow, to be, is an architectural experience. It starts from excavation, from
nothing, and has only a plan that in time comes to fruition. No matter how sad, how tragic a site
might be, how abused by history, architecture has the notion of a future.

This makes a person alive even by creating a dead person's memorial – planting a flower or a tree or
writing a book.
Architecture is the construction of a real and lasting space, created by art and technology, And a
sustainable climate for humanity's well-being and its mental and physical health.

How Emotion Impacts the Perception of Architecture

Emotion can be provoked by architecture. We should know how built monuments may cause feelings
such as joy, sorrow and thankfulness. Likewise, certain construction styles may confuse you or even
alleviate your mood. It all becomes a function of how a single space is designed — to cause for an
emotional response in its inhabitants.

Architectural emotions can be often compared to how much an architecture emanates a ' sense of
place'—where an architecture's meaning can form the emotion of a particular architecture .

"Sense of place" can often allow architecture to develop a kind of identity and can serve to evoke
emotion in its inhabitants by linking them.

Why does human emotion have to be an important aspect in your architecture?

First of all, it can enable the design reach a high level of poeticism to create an emotional response in
occupants.

You know, if your building interacts with its inhabitants emotionally the intent and its significance can be
sensed more profoundly — making a lasting impression more readily.

Architecture that Unfolds Into a Story

Motion is associated to feeling, like the movements of the physiologic body arising from a perceived
emotion. When the architecture leads the inhabitants, mental or physical, they experience an emotional
story that influences their path, actions and memory.

Emotion is fundamentally a vital element which influences occupants ' understanding of architecture.
So, how does this works ?

1. the creation of senses – you could create an architectural component utilizing architectural
characteristics including materiality, light and sound. It is thus possible to create an attractive
narrative in this structure and to arouse different emotions. In fact, you can tell a story with the
help of a personality that depends on the appearance, structure and overall color of your
design.

2. about the structural concept of your plan, and consider the policy that you intend to influence
the feelings of residents or visitors. This basic concept in design can make sense with
metaphorical aspects, structural proximity and even the creation of beautiful structures in
different parts.
