Why Do People Feel More Comfortable in One Space than Another?

摘要

Architecture is a uniquely multifaceted discipline integrating perception, imagination and artistic expression with the physical world of space, light and form - construction and its materiality - to create the buildings in which humans live and, ideally, thrive. Until very recently little has been known about how our brains, bodies and buildings interact. Although architects for centuries have depended on intuition and experience to create environments that influence the people who use a space, we know we have much to learn about human responses to environmental stimuli.
