Psychoarchitecture

Psychoarchitecture is the study of how architectural design and urban environments influence human behavior, emotions, and thoughts. It examines the psychological impact of spaces, including how light, color, layout, and materials affect our feelings and interactions. For instance, open spaces can promote socializing, while cramped areas may lead to stress. By understanding these relationships, architects and urban planners can create environments that enhance well-being, productivity, and community connection, making spaces more enjoyable and functional for people.
