I keep coming back to this video as a fantastic summary of what environmental psychology is all about in context to the built environment. These design principles should form the basis of building design, rather than being a simple afterthought. If we can get this message out there beyond the niche crowd, into the minds of those that can make a difference, the future of architecture will be built to build up people's lives with a supporting built environment rather than simple design and visual impact. I believe it can be brought to the masses of the design world, and will do my part to make it so. Sam-THMP.
I like it. For me, the purpose of the building is to serve the needs of the occupants of that building in such a way that they fulfill the purpose of the building. For example: a church is a place of worship. That is its purpose and intent. That said, it is the people occupying the church that are doing the worship NOT the building. Thus to fulfill the purpose of the building, the designer must design the church in such a way as to facilitate the psychological worship experience of the people visiting the church. The same can be said for any building or any part of any building. That is architectural design.
This video and, more broadly, the subject matter has so few viewers. The failure of design psychology to get its deserved attention is manifest in our cities and in the everyday things we use.
@@seanimal_555 I have noticed and given long thoughts about that. Certain spaces and materials used in construction make me feel like wanting to leave fast whereas others make me want to stay and touch them. It is worth trying to understand the process involved.
@@arc-psy6091 I am from Europe and just googled that and man oh man, The whole eastern block of Europe looks like that. Millions of people here are living in cities that look exactly like this. And then you can wonder where all the depression of society here comes from. I hate the previous (communistic) regime for that soooo much.
Architecture today is making people depressed. Especially our dictated future of the ugly dystopian future of architecture. All buildings look ugly today and in the future unfortunately becuase that is the trend.

its absence is seen in every failed architecture structure.

to be a psychologist of architect is my dream~
Follow your dream always and never give up.
Same here
Why do you think so?
Dear
You don't need to be a psychologist of Architect. As an architect you will know the psychology behind Architecture.
Awesome video!
spatial psychology should be in every architecture academe and course, rather than put it in the category of theories.
Thanks for the presentation
What was Dr Sam Gosling talking about with the application of psychology to social housing being a failure?
Hi Rosina.
Look up Pruitt-Igoe Apartments. It might be a good starting point!

Modern architecture is at its best when the last piece of concrete is carted away after it has been demolished.
Modern architecture in Austin TX is a great example of what not to do
VIVA MAPUA!!
penge words
Is there any book about psychology for space design ?🙏
