A Review on Spatial Perception Through Neuro-Architecture

Nowadays, people spend most of their time indoors and are affected both psychologically and physiologically by the places they are in. As the place affects people, it can also control their feelings in some cases. In recent years, neuroscience and psychology professionals have begun to combine their research to provide more robust data on human mental health and perception under the title of neuro-architecture. While the conditions that affect human psychology can now be defined by physical, chemical, and biological phenomena occurring in the brain, it is also becoming a little clearer how phenomena occurring in the brain affect human perception. Within the scope of the thesis, as a result of the findings of neuroscience and psychology researchers in recent years, it has been examined how these data can affect the neuro-architecture and architectural design process. It investigated how the human brain, which perceives its environment through five senses, is affected by visual, auditory, sensory, olfactory, and tactile phenomena in spaces and how it changes its perception and psychology.
