How Architecture Affects The Way We Feel
![FEEL 01.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/23xyZHSo3E2Puyb7vMaceXAe3mGVBFpKzd2QAx6frZcbmjfg9u8VJy7WB6DEDfmPj3yXA.jpg)

## Introduction

For the most part of our human lives, we are surrounded by our built environments. And whether it's the office, church, mall, hotel, school, supermarket, or your home, we spend most of our days indoors. The exteriors of buildings, on the other hand, also play a major role in providing certain outcomes to people but, it doesn't stop there. It may appear that the functional aspects of our constructed interior and exterior worlds are the only ones that count yet, there's more to architecture than meets the eyes.

![FEEL 02.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/23xKr7mK7KdX9DFE73kgYza16UCDw4gocUDAF3TUZg49nx1XkZnYYHUtdWLE5V2SH6jNL.jpg)

Because it's apparent that we embrace an indoor culture, architecture has a direct impact on its users and occupants regardless of the different types of activities it's assigned to. Our physical surroundings also possess the power to affect our emotions, sensual qualities and influence our perceptions through various criteria like the allocated spaces, lighting considerations, geometric principles, including the basic materials that become part of the completed environment. Moreover, scientific research has proven that this is not a pure coincidence but, specific areas in our brain get excited and harmonize with some places we occupy.

"Does that mean that architecture must be designed around the human experience?" Since we are emotional creatures by nature, I'd answer that question with a resounding Yes! In fact, Architects and Designers must be conscious about this during their work processes to achieve successful projects that clients would truly care about.

"So, if the human experience is critical in architecture's true purpose, what are the specific areas of this industry that create the emotional connections to those in its presence?" Here are some of the most important ones:

## Views of Surroundings

Pay attention to the sights from your workplace, office, classroom, or house. What do you see? Are you bombarded with noisy scenes of cars passing by? Is your bedroom in front of a marketplace? Are you facing a blank wall whenever you look out your window? Or is your living area surrounded by the refreshing panoramas of a white sandy beach or by lush greens on a hillside?

![FEEL 03.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/23sJd9qVXFw8DMziRQSbnxvYB85RV9wZeTu3nookodbeQvTdoebohkQkJJgnUV6eMPGFE.jpg)

Thus, which of those atmospheres I've just mentioned would give you the better chance of focusing on your current task with ease? It has been justified that natural settings and sceneries contribute to the overall well-being of people and have far more benefits compared to spaces with none.

![FEEL 04.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/23yTfLVmL2PgQp8fZFVqV78R3kZ6279sdKCiPKoo8q3zTjuC2meVKxVea5R4XJ2LKFJqr.jpg)

However. what if your location is far away from the views of nature? Architects nowadays push in incorporating the experience of the natural environment, though in small portions, in various locations that improve the mood of its users. Some useful solutions include green walls, interior pocket gardens, green atriums, flowering plants in pots, and other ideas that go a long way in improving the dull ambiance of the place.

## Color Therapy

We may take the simple colors of our surroundings for granted. Yet, are you aware that colors plus the different hues and tones that go with them have a massive effect on our moods and emotions? 

![FEEL 05.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/2449tENiF5eVJ3zjvHA2dP4iWrxtuG1udrSYufhNWryyHVT8wuz7vrN48CgrMudoFTLEQ.jpg)

![FEEL 06.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/23zkn67Jfy9PG1NHWCwkbJsPqvnHyy11WTy8oHQG63xubSENJkH6hRGu8SXth6ytRi62p.jpg)

Let's illustrate the colors of typical restaurants for example. Dining establishments that encourage you to stay longer intentionally use warmer colors in their branding, furniture, and other designs compared to ordinary fast-food outlets or eateries that hasten customers to finish immediately due to strong lighting and colors that stimulate you to hasten.

![FEEL 07.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/23xAbqmTAyxbTEzmdnhaytn8AhQWqqfTsqvNULCpjAadbF1VUN5PYS31FqrpUrtWAeVyE.jpg)

For best results, it's extremely helpful to familiarize yourself with the various colors, tones, and hues on the color wheel or palette and study their psychological effects on humans. Use the right colors as your allies in achieving the most suitable emotional experiences of a space.

## Heights of Ceilings

When inside a certain room,  have you taken notice of the distance between the floor and the topmost point of your space? Even this fundamental architectural element has a drastic effect on the way you feel and what actions you're doing within that particular spot in the interior.

![FEEL 08.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/23wWxy3wwcGGKt1MLze2nE4ZGNy8oUfJfwqJWFBjwZTkd6UDUibzfhaaK8VoznHStnTLQ.jpg)

For instance, if you're creative, it's simply vital to building higher ceilings to allow for imaginative thoughts to flow freely. No wonder architect's offices, writer's cribs, and artist's studios incorporate high ceilings to accommodate abstract thinking processes. 

![FEEL 09.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/23yJ9o1HS8eESAHU9SCEH9i3vZMaEr8xghHzN23fADsV7WPP5sej3KDg1rUgsr3KKTBxQ.jpg)

On the other hand, low ceiling heights are common in healthcare environments like clinical laboratories and operating rooms where the extreme focus of the task at hand is absolutely required for successful medical procedures. 

## Lighting Effects

Furthermore, the way an interior environment or building exterior is illuminated has an immediate effect on our emotional conditions. Bright lights, for example, take a toll on our resulting actions in both positive and negative outcomes. Even the lighting color affects the way we feel and depending on the type of hue that goes with it, our various moods change due to the particular ambiance it has created.

![FEEL 10.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/23xp6YoJRSVQ6AGxAQRpzncW83qcDZTUKE71k753dWsJPMMr8bSmmHBXriqSjxDUP1VHN.jpg)

![FEEL 11.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/23ywyZoWSRjPHSsEGTbVGuddPqtbUfGkpdJyLXm7GE9zf9DrYcM5YQcqwqB7E356okBZ6.jpg)

One of the best sources of healthy lighting is Mother Nature. Did you know that natural lighting is simply beneficial to our well-being, pushes us to exercise more, sleep a lot better at night, plus helps us become more alert and energetic? Additionally, natural lighting enhances your body's circadian rhythms in adjusting your built-in body clocks to adjust to different periods of the day.

![FEEL 12.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/23ynSEAvdTUaAui7YXEJykZgi52VwQP3hZwy1pctPJjeK3moh8Q7Er7hwSerDPrNMuYQL.jpg)

Lighting fixtures with their directions of light rays and their specific placements within the space directly have an effect on the person's mood. Lighting installed above an individual's head depicts a more formal atmosphere while those devices located below the eyes portray a more casual ambiance and focuses on the significance of the object or human being illuminated. General lighting units installed on walls and ceilings emphasize the vastness of space while accented lighting fixtures point to a more intimate and private design setting.

## Exteriors of Buildings

How a piece of architecture looks from the outside also creates a relevant impact on its viewers or onlookers. The aesthetics of a building has profound effects on your happiness levels or could also be detrimental causing you to feel otherwise. Because our built environments are subjective by nature, the design of a certain space could send different signals to its users. 

![FEEL 13.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/23yJ7aP27avLKfF44hnyevxJzhJRz6BVm5n7QRNJhes2pcVSXbyha2M7YUXGytvJnwXek.jpg)

![FEEL 14.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/23v4JdmaZcGHysw7zYmq2dCz4yo3cXZPDk5vECA1Uy3NruR9qiq3sCdvAoLJ6WHCGzBtx.jpg)

Shapes, forms, and features of certain buildings have a psychological impact on their occupants and cause different types of behaviors in people. With careful planning and thoughtful creativity, however, beautiful facades could be realized to provide you with better emotional experiences. 

## Material Finishes & Textures

Aside from the visual aspect of our sensual characteristics, we have the tendency to be attracted to our surroundings by our senses of touch and smell. Wouldn't it also be a spectacular activity for you to feel the textures of certain surfaces like wood, marble, fabrics, and the plethora of building finishes within your reach?

![FEEL 15.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/243BYFmXBeq6p5Rk1SThuXQdmyZgFV47xrCSezUURqFuLZfkzXuXVBktQj5HBJcehZVxY.jpg)

![FEEL 16.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/23uQtWLvi5PHvFrKKs3S51K3cskMQtHkbc4DbpF8yhadkk2gZsjwP6BhoiA7YKZyWve5r.jpg)

On the other hand, the sense of smell also contributes to your positive mood. To illustrate, when your nose hints at the scent of delicious food, would you rather proceed to the kitchen or dining hall to taste it right away? Together with our feelings and moods, the human senses also play a critical role in providing the best experiences in a space.

## Interior Spaces

Interior environments must be designed around the needs and experiences of their occupants. Contrary to the popular belief that users must adapt to their physical surroundings, it's way more beneficial for the constructed surroundings to adjust to its inhabitants hence, providing the needed freedom for them to discover and savor.

![FEEL 17.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/23tvaH7te4ToZRpqcq3BajiaEmBnp38cNAZYueP98ohefLyaeawaFinFhyFrPUNWP3mH6.jpg)

![FEEL 18.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/storiesoferne/23xATXjaZRFX3Cd4TgB6G5gFswXytGAUPHMR2avVsoHMynzDYDueogzaVt5g7yqa42wXA.jpg)

The design of a space must ideally be conscious of the various activities, tasks, and events that people engage with. Having said that, there are also other valuable factors to be considered in successfully building interior spaces such as anthropometrics, the correct balance between form and function, adherence to governing building codes and laws, plus the financial budget involved - these must be taken into proper account.

## Conclusion

I hope this educational article has offered you great value and has shed light on our enthusiasts of architecture and design who embrace the tremendous significance of our human experiences with the different built environments for our benefit. 

Whether you're an emotional individual or not, architecture will definitely be lingering with society for centuries to come. Therefore, it's up to you to make the most out of your surrounding spaces by cultivating the ideal emotions, feelings, senses, as well as atmospheres for a more enjoyable existence, at least on this planet. If I would summarize everything here in just 3 words, this would probably be the best advice I can give you to take home: "Design your Experience".

#Hive, what are your favorite feelings while in the presence of architecture?

Thank you @storiesoferne for letting me know that warmer color is used to intentionally encourage customers to stay (I can use this in my future endeavor). If a customer stays longer they may buy more than usual.

Good afternoon Erne, I just read your post *How Architectue Affects the way we Feel* and it seemed excellent and very didactic, especially for those who see architecture as an art with only aesthetic values. I would like to tell you that a couple of social psychologist, friends of my, conducted a study that tried to demonstrate the thesis according to which many people who are forced to change their habitat, and therefore their social environment, carry the acquired customs with them and find it difficult to fully adapt to the new home, even when it is qualitative and quantitatively better. Have a happy weekend. I hope to continue reading your works in the near future.
👍

Hello there Benjamin. As most of us are accustomed to architecture as only influencing us from a visual or aesthetic perspective, there's actually more happening beneath the surface. Subconsciously, our emotional, psychological, sensual, and spiritual factors are triggered by the various built environments we are exposed to. In other words, the human experience is a key component in fulfilling architecture's significance in the world. I'm glad that you have closely associated with friends with regard to this specific study.

I'm currently diving deeper into this particular niche because it's absolutely interesting plus this helps me understand more our important behaviors and relationships with architecture. Stay tuned for more stories about this. Have a great weekend @besamu!

You're welcome @afterglow. Unless a person is color-blind, the colors of life absolutely affect our moods and behaviors. For the entrepreneur, the knowledge of color therapy would either make or break his ventures.

Wow, what a post! What a pleasure to read it, I remember my youth when I went to the American library and caressed the architecture books, I even smelled them. I was fascinated by houses, interiors, furniture, lights ... That's how I felt after reading this post.
Thank you!

Thank you! World architects is a world apart, I had some friends architects and participated in their meetings where I stayed ... speechless.
I will remain in your community as a visitor, not a specialist. I will post only architectural works that I liked but without the comment that a specialist could make. Fortunately, I see that you accept that as well.

Excellent post as always, Erne! 

> "Lighting fixtures with their directions of light rays and their specific placements within the space directly have an effect on the person's mood. Lighting installed above an individual's head depicts a more formal atmosphere while those devices located below the eyes portray a more casual ambiance and focuses on the significance of the object or human being illuminated."

Lighting Design is powerful. A change in color temperature immediately affects the perception of colors.  The placement of lighting adds layers and creates different effects. I enjoy experimenting with light.

That's right Arni. Lighting absolutely plays a critical role in ways we can never expect. That's why it's simply important for architects and designers to be knowledgeable about lighting design for our beneficial human experiences to be truly successful in projects.

Hello friend Erne. I greet you from Venezuela with great respect and affection. Friend @storiesoferne I loved your post. The photographs are beautiful. As for the extraordinary content. Everything that surrounds us impacts us directly and indirectly, nature is our main friend and benefactor. Certainly architects and designers have an important mission when it comes to designing sublime spaces that help to harmonize human beings with the interior and exterior environment that surrounds them. Colors, shapes, dimensions, lighting, and the feeling of freedom, freshness, and peace help heal humanity. Thank you for your extraordinary post. Congratulations. NOTE: my son @memj0310 has been studying the influence of colors on people and how designers play with prismatic psychology to achieve different effects on people who frequent certain places. Greetings and infinite blessings. Receive a strong hug full of light and many positive energies.

Exactly friend Marcos! Everything you said here is absolutely true and it hits the mark. With our daily exposure to our built environments, it's definitely important to be conscious of our different feelings while in the presence of our surroundings. The better the design of the spaces, the better are the outcomes of our senses and emotions. Also, I'm glad your son @memj0310 has dedicated some time to being familiarized with the positive effects of colors on human beings and how architects and designers use these palettes of hues to their advantage. Thank you for your wonderful comment @marcosmilano71! Infinite blessings and virtual hugs!

Indeed that was such an educational post. experiencing built environment is the most interesting aspect of architecture. As you mentioned everything from colours to textures matters and leaves a huge impression on ourselves. As far as I am concerned The freshness and joy I  experience in presence of pastel coloured interior and the wonderfulness of siting in well made landscape with aesthetic chairs, pool and lush green plants.
Thank you for sharing your views.

Yes definitely @praditya! As Architects, it's simply vital to take into careful consideration the well-being, emotions, and senses of the occupants/users when designing their appropriate spaces. I can surely imagine the kind of environment you would love to be in - a refreshing pool, lounge chair, cool breeze, pastel-colored objects, and the relaxing feelings absorbed from the natural surroundings. I'd surely be enjoying myself in such a place too! Thank you for your wonderful remarks!

Absolutely our built environment has major impact on our emotions. It's more than just walls always. That's a good and detailed perspective regarding the subject. your post always seems like a good learning experience, A teacher like qualities for sure.
 Anyways as far as my favourite feeling is concerned, I always feel so safe when am at my home. It's the attachment and security which my home's structures provides me which no place in the world could.

Hope you have a safe and happy day:)

Hello @sahiba-rana. It's definitely more than just mere walls. With our daily exposure to architecture, there's a much more profound connection to our emotions and the rest of our human experiences. I'm also delighted that you've found safety in your beautiful home. Now, it's not just a house but, a secure place where you can truly be yourself and be joyful.

India is currently in a critical situation because of the outbreak. So, take good care of yourself. Have a safe and happy weekend!

Hello friend @storiesoferne  you have exposed in a complete and clear way very important aspects that we must consider when undertaking a project. For example if it is a housing it is vital to have a profile of the client, not only budget available, also his profession, hobbies, tastes, family size. And also the profile of each member of the household, to create pleasant spaces for everyone. This topic you have touched is great and I congratulate you, and thank you for transmitting the information to the community. As architects we must also be psychologists to understand and give the client and the whole society what they need to be happy. We must create pleasant and beneficial spaces to please individual, society and planet, we have a great responsibility. 
Thanks my friend, have a great weekend. Take care of yourself and your family.

This is a fascinating subject.  We don't realize the time and thought put into architecture and it's impacts on us psychologically.  Often times buildings are designed to enhance their purpose such as a music hall or as you talked about how colors and layout can assist in changing your mood.  Great post.

Hello @wizardofcheeze. Indeed, architecture doesn't merely end in its functional, structural, and aesthetic aspects. The human experience and psychological impact are critical factors that make our built environments truly significant, Thank you for your beautiful words!
