| Abstract | The physical environment affects peoples behavior and wellbeing. Some effects can be easily noticed through observation, whereas others require an in-depth study to be understood and measured. Although many alterations can be positive, some can also negatively influence wellbeing, decision-making, and mental and physical health. Some of these effects are not easily associated with physical space. Thus, people may be unaware of the real triggers for changes in behavior, mood, and wellbeing. Although many studies have been performed on environmental psychology, detailed research to understand the impacts of architecture on the brain using neuroscience is limited. Some difficulties experienced by researchers in this field are on the isolation of each stimulus to understand its effects individually and measurement of brain changes in people interacting with the environment because some brain scans, such as fMRI, require people to be inside the machine. Nonetheless, the several ways a space can impact its users should be discussed to understand how architecture influences individuals and to help architects and urban planners in designing efficient and healthy spaces. This study aims to describe and analyze the results of previous research works and propose a way of organizing them to facilitate further investigation on this field. © 2019 The Authors |
The physical environment affects peoples behavior and wellbeing. Individuals grow up study develop work meet old and new friends start forming families raise their children and even die in places built by men. An architectural example can be remarkable places that require just one visit to be recorded by the brain and never be forgotten. They are innate reactions of the brain that are expressed through facial expressions body language and attitudes. However the World Health Organization outlines other detrimental effects of noise such as disruption of the circadian rhythms during sleep reduction of sense of control over the environment and impaired cognitive functions.
