Thanks man. This encourages me to wish to explore architecture...if you think about it, there are so many places to see! Someone once told me that the superpower we have as architecture students allows us into spaces simply by saying, "I'm an architecture student and I wish to observe this space".
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Being a student does give you an different perspective on architecture, and it makes exploring buildings a rich experience.
Space is a disguised word for freedom. Thats why we ask space in a relationship sometimes when what we actually want is freedom. Human are drawn to providing architecture to envelope space, to establish some kind of a control, people sometimes pretend to want freedom but in fact they want somebody tell them what to do. They want a sense of security. Architecture played a great role in our society by shaping our lives and culture simply by how it made us feel within a space.
I was surprised to learn that in landscaping and gardening, outdoor spaces are broken down into “rooms” too, seen either as an extension or a separation from the building
Interesting concepts. In marketing, shop designers talk about atmospherics and the servicescape to describe the impact of space on consumer behaviour. In religious studies, the concept of sacred space is quite well developed. Does architectural theory relate to these other subject areas?
Andrea de Paiva has written several papers on neuroscience and architecture. Here’s one of her papers to check out: www.researchgate.net/publication/325016082_Neuroscience_for_Architecture_How_Building_Design_Can_Influence_Behaviors_and_Performance
Nice video however you could have also provided examples of more ancient buildings how they used space not only modern ones. Also there is no scientific evidence to state that modern architecture makes us feel better and good.
You're right there are plenty of ancient architecture that have incredible spaces, like the Pantheon, and we should've included them. I don't think we made the argument that there was scientific evidence that modern architecture made us feel better. There is, however, scientific evidence that suggests that we respond differently to different types of space, i.e., cramp, dark spaces can cause anxiety, or open, bright spaces can make someone feel happier.
@@AllThingsArchitecture yes but I think architecture must prioritize the well-being of individuals by creating spaces that are not only visually appealing but also supportive of mental and physical health. Research has shown that the shapes of buildings can significantly impact our feelings and behaviors. For instance, studies indicate that pointy structures can evoke anxiety or discomfort. Furthermore, in non-busy settings, circular shapes enhance customer satisfaction through warmth perceptions, yet this insight is often overlooked in public design. The materials used in construction also play a crucial role in fostering well-being. A study by Fell (2010) highlights the stress-reducing properties of wood. It found that wood grain patterns can significantly lower stress levels, akin to the calming effects of natural environments. This is particularly important in spaces like hospitals or offices, where natural views or plants may be unavailable. The study concluded that “wood provides stress-reducing effects similar to the well-studied effect of exposure to nature in the field of environmental psychology.” This means that incorporating wood indoors can be an effective part of evidence-based and biophilic design strategies, enhancing the atmosphere of hospitals, offices, schools, and other built environments. Notably, the wood tested in this research was birch veneer office furniture with a clear finish, demonstrating that even simple elements can have a profound impact on our well-being. Moreover, the ongoing neglect of the Biophilia Hypothesis, which has been around for almost 50 years, signals a missed opportunity for architects and designers to create environments that resonate with our innate connection to nature. By embracing these insights, we can design holistic spaces that foster relaxation, creativity, and community connection, ultimately enhancing our quality of life. Architects should have more multidisciplinary knowledge collaborating with healthcare professionals. I am currently working on giving my contribution in this being dissappointed with always same type of buildings, the current effort toward human health is minimal. We can do better.
Nice beginning but rather amateur with several errors; pre WWII all architecture for the last ten thousand years or so, naturally followed our binocular brains assigning an axis to every space and to every piece of stuff defining that space both inside and out because that is the most efficient way to process the information - why we like symmetry and balance of form - all as taught by the Beaux-Arts - the baby thrown out with the bathwater of ornamentation.

Space - The final frontier!

SPACE...The interior volume you enter and do not want to leave.......the exterior space you would like to behold always...
I was surprised to learn that in landscaping and gardening, outdoor spaces are broken down into “rooms” too, seen either as an extension or a separation from the building
you can integrate the exterior and bring it into the interior

Does architectural theory relate to these other subject areas?
Hi; thanks for your useful information.
I'm looking for the reasurch you mentioned by ^andreas dubava^ is there any resources that you can tell me?
Hey could you link me some of that Andreas Dubava Neuroscience research thank you
Great
✨💖
is marsal augustus real name of that person? i googled it and i cant find him. Pls reply I want this for my university assignment.
August Schmarsow was the architectural theorist that first discussed the importance of space over the form.
@@AllThingsArchitecture thanks for the name
❤❤❤❤
Hey bro can we have the resources… specially the research paper of Andreas the Brazilian researcher

@@AllThingsArchitecture thank you
I appreciate that 😍
Wheres part 2
Keep it

next time you mention a weird name, pls show it in your video , I cant spell just by saying it. the augutus part
Thank you for the feedback. I'll definitely do that in the future.
