Neuro-Architecture - Understanding Spaces Inducing Emotions
Have you ever thought about the ways that certain spaces can trigger feelings or trigger a feeling of emotion within us? Movie theaters, parks and shopping malls bring us joy and energy however hospitals, universities or government buildings can trigger an emotion of sadness, depression.

Have you been aware of Neuroarchitecture? What if buildings became smart spaces that alter and stimulate our minds to become more imaginative, active and satisfied?

In the design of effective environments, it is not just on the technical aspects of ergonomics, laws and comfort in the environment however, also on subjective indicators such as happiness, emotion and well-being is known as Neuro-architecture.

Architects are constantly conscious of the impact their designs have on the people who are using their designs and the way they feel about an area. We are all aware that the elements like lighting or light or the hue of a space affect the feelings we experience when we encounter the style

What number of times have been to a location such as an area place to park or a residential development or a mall, a home or building you felt sad and worried or, the other way around, exuberant and happy?

Religious spaces evoke a feeling of calm and peace, and positive energy. Gothic cathedrals, old temples, and religious monuments and religious complexes are all looking upwards to the sky, whether it's through the high ceilings or the raised steeple, or a the shikhara or viharas to enhance the feeling of inspiration that is felt upon entering the structure. The gaze upwards assists the brain to process the meaning behind the actions like the notion of heaven high over and hell below below.Lifting the field of vision gives one an impression of peace, space and contemplation.The enormous volumetrics of the sky is controlled by the idea of god or ruler as the supreme and unstoppable force.

In the same way, workplaces have changed their definitions, and they are designed to boost efficiency and creativity among employees. The bright colors of furniture and walls as well as wide, open spaces tables and work desks that are free of barriers as well as a the biophilic campus approach all make for better overall health and higher productivity. There are a variety of architectural characteristics like colors shapes, sizes, proportions, layouts, and acoustic isolation. These are just several that could help in creating a more efficient workplace. The design should take into account the individuals who will use the space and what activities are to be carried out in the space will yield greater effectiveness. Examples of this are provided using elements that reflect nature's energy reduce stress levels and increase concentration. Also, the sensory richness that comes by the combination of patterns, textures, colors and scents can stimulate memory and learning (not just memory formation, but also recall) and the layout can be planned in a manner to promote collaboration and improve collaboration between teams; design of spaces that offer alternative activity, such as telephone-call rooms and meeting rooms, increases the sense of control among employees, reducing stress levels, and allowing for alternative ways to enhance privacy and consequently, focus.

Winston Churchill quote "We shape our buildings therefore they shape Us".

Neuroarchitecture is now extended to individual units, however, it also includes town planning and city planning. Architectural designers are currently creating houses and cities on the basis of the way that a brain might respond to a specific setting. The idea is to create the environment which stimulates your mind, soothes nervous system and creates better for the future generation. Thus, in a bid to stay ahead of trend that is short-lived by incorporating Neuroarchitecture architects aim to build the building that is all about the people who reside there.

Imagine how tense it could be in cities that are heavily populated with noise and pollution. What if this research could aid in designing buildings that are not only efficient but also allows the brain to communicate to the surrounding. There are many sufferers of mental and neurological disorders the creation of a city that is designed keeping in mind how the human brain reacts can help improve overall health. While this may help on an overall level, if implemented in the individual homes, the effect would ripple.

In conclusion, an effective design should allow for the freedom of movement, flexibility and flexibility. It has been demonstrated that being close to nature's elements such as plants, pools, and trees can help people relax and relaxed, whereas a more restricted area such as office cubicles or tight spaces hinder the creativity of people. That is why the idea of neuroarchitecture comes into picture.

Every space can serve various reasons to a different or same human based on different factors, like hospitals can serve as an office, a space for living, workplace, and even a personal space for different individuals. This is one of the challenges for the future of neuroarchitecture.

Neuroarchitecture's purpose is to help people live more effectively in their surroundings.
