HUMAN BAHAVIOR AND ARCHITECTURE

Human Response to Physical Structure



Human Response to Physical Structure

Introduction

How human beings comprehend real-world environments are a serious question within environment-behavior studies also present the views of environmental psychologists, urban planners, architects, environmental designers, and geographers. As early as 1913, Trowbridge studied how individuals orient in geographic space. However, scant human research until the early 1960s. An exception was the important architectural work initiated during this period by Tolman (1948) in his classic studies of place learning that challenged strict Stimulus-Response learning theory (Lang, 2008). This paper highlights the impact of architecture on human response and behavior. It is very important to study the impact of building architecture on human behavior.

Discussion

The color scheme, the texture, and the position of the building also influence the human behavior and psychological response. For scholars in other disciplines, this shift implied that radical attention to the material culture of everyday life in the modern era could be as instructive as archaeology of the ancient world (Clayton, Myers, 2009). The concept of reflection has always been a notion of great concern and distress for a lot of people. People these days do not usually pay attention to what have they become in terms of their purpose and existence. Although when you look at yourself in the mirror to see the face, but when you take a closer look, you can identify all odds and aspects of your own soul to see. Some mystics even believe that the mirror is a window to the soul; your thinking is your soul in all its glory and malice.

In my viewpoint, vernacular structures have a great impact on human behavior and signify basic amenities; a house, a system that grows on five key components and makes the world a better place for us. In my view, there are 5 pillars to your living in this world: faith, unity, respect, discipline and empathy. All these factors lead to self-development of an individual to make changes within themselves also improving the entire system of society as a whole (Altman and Werner, 1985).

Also, to bring to your attention, the reflective glass also shows how much one has input all these values in your life. From time to time, people mould themselves and change, in terms of thought, act and expression. All human are obliged to at least practice such values and notions effectively, as they are greatly absent and hard to find in modern times of today. Since one's reflection looks back at you, you are unable to hide the true emotions your reflection shows and puts forth. Generally people create this wall in front of themselves, either to hide their fears, fright and vulnerability. The reflection visible in the piece can and will always help you understand your faults and identify your negative traits, in order for you to improve yourself and become better human beings living in the society.
