Abstract:
"By studying the current relationships and present
scenarios in which architectural design practice
performs, it can be determined that there is a lack of
measure given to the psychological effect that the
built environment has in the evolution of the human
brain. The current practice still uses the somewhat
rudimentary methods of creating spaces based on
the intuitive knowledge and past experiences of
the designer. With the advancement of science, it is
now possible to understand the effects of the built
space through studies of cognitive science, a branch
of neuroscience that deals with the development of
human behavior. The presented materials document a design
inquiry suggesting how people in better designed
built spaces or environments have been able to
perform to a greater potential than usual. By using
these analogies in various sectors of architectural
context, I wish to propose a virtual environment, which
not only proves the above-mentioned statement but
also becomes a stepping stone for designing future
architectural and built environments."
