PSYCHOARHITECTURE

THE MOMENT WHEN THE ARTISITC OBJECT IS PLACED IN HIS SITE,

IS THE MOMENT WHEN HIS LIFE BEGINS AMONG THE PEOPLE LIVES.

EATCH IS LIVING IN HIS OWN UNIVERS

AND

THE WORLD THAT WE SEE IS ONLY A PROJECTION OF THE REALITY

IN OUR MIND

UNDERSTANDING THE ENVIRONMENT:

PERCEPTION of SPACE, FORMS and COLOURS
IS A MENTAL AUTOMATIC PROCESS
1. INPUT MANAGING

THE MENTAL PROCESS REDUCES THE INFORMATION FROM THE ENVIRONMENT

2. THE PROCESS OF CODING THE INFORMATION

TRANSFORMING THE INFOMATION IN NERVOUS IMPULSE

3. RECODING THE INFORMATION AFTER HIS OWN FILTERS

THE PROCESS OF REORGANIZING THE INFORMATIONS AFTER HIS OWN FILTERS

4.THE PROCESS OF DECODING-UNDERSTANDING THE INFORMATION

EXAMPLE...
WHAT ARE THE FAZES OF THE PROCESS OF
LIKE/DISLIKE - CHOOSING AN ARCHITECTURAL WORK

Modern?

Clasic?

1.

REDUCING THE
INFORMATION TO
THE KNOWING
THINGS

WE SEE WHAT WE KNOW

NOT WHAT EXIST.

2.

EXPECTATIONS,
ORGANIZING THE
IDEA OF COMFORT,
INFORMATIONS
BUDGET,
AFTER OWN FILTERS
PERSONAL LIMITS
AND CRITERIA

3.
UNDERSTANDING

AND
ACCEPTING
THE INFORMATION

RECREATES AN IMAGE LIKE A

PUZZLE FORMED WITH THE PIECES
THAT HE KNOWS AND
UNDERSTAND
COMPARE THE IMAGE WITH THE
MODEL-PATTERN ON THE ISSUE

...so the end rezult is not an understanding of the proposal but...

A PROJECTION OF THE SOLUTION RECREATED BY THE BENEFICIARY MIND

AND...
The winner is...

...OWN STYLE!

EDUCATION
etc...
MEMORIES

EMOTIONS

PERCEPTIONS
SENSATIONS

...there are some steps and some filters that recreate

the world as we see

emotions...

ATRACTIVE THINGS FUNCTION MUCH

BETTER BECOUSE CREATES POZITIVE
EMOTIONS THAT CAUSE MENTAL
PROCESES OF CREATIVITY, TOLERANCE
AND ENCRESE THE ENDURANCE TO
NEGATIVITY. Donald Norman

...anchors of memories
ANCHORS OF MEMORY ARE MENTAL
PROCESSES THAT HAVE A STRONG
INFLUENCE ON PERCEPTION OF THE
ENVIRONMENT.
CONSTITUE AN IMPORTANT FILTER
THAT CAN GIVES THE COLOUR OF THE
GLASSES TROUGH WE ARE LOOKING.

Zumthor speakes about the beauty

beyound the things, that beauty that stays
in memories, the poewrfuul chilhood
memories, or the strong traumas, the
beauty
or the ugliness of the world
evocated by that thing.

PSYCHOARCHITECTURE

ACTUAL FENOMENON IN ARCHITECTURE,

DUE TO THE LACK OF EMPATHY AND HUMAN INTEREST
IN PROCES OF DESIGNING ARCHIECTURAL ENVIRONMENT
IS

NARCISISTIC ARCHITECTURE,
CALLED AFTER THE NARCISIST PSYCHOLOGICAL DISODER

OBBSESED OF THERE
PERSON
TOTAL LACK OF EMATHY
MEGALOMANIAC
GREEDY OF ADMIRATION

NARCISSIST

CONVINCED THAT HE
KNOWS BETTER THAN
ENYONE EVREYTHING
CONVINCED THAT HE IS
THE SUPERIOR TO ALL

The result is...

an empty hall

NARCISSISTIC BUILDINGS are...

SHINY

NARCISSISTIC BUILDINGS are...

ARROGANT

NARCISSISTIC BUILDINGS are..

DOMINNANT...

...and allways the end of perspective

NARCISSISTIC BUILDINGS are...

INDIFFERENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT

NARCISSISTIC BUILDINGS are...

UNIQUE& DIFFRENT

NARCISSISTIC BUILDINGS are...

LIKE NO OTHERS...

...an OVERWELMING ARCHITECTURE

That rejects his inhabitants

THE IMPACT OF CONSTRUCTED ENVIRONMENT OVER THE HUMAN MIND

IS THE SAME
THAT THE NATURAL ENVORONMENT HAD ON HIM IN THE PREHYSTORICHAL PERIOD

THE ENVIRONMENT FORMED THE HUMAN BEING

THE ENVIRONMENT SHAPE THE HUMAN MIND IN GENERATIONS

ARCHITECTURE FORM THE PERSONALITY OF HIS

INHABITANTS

ARCHITECTURE CREATS,
... IN TIME, IN GENERATIONS...

HIS OWN TYPE OF MAN
