Influencing human reactions through the sense of space: Revealing the nature of water through architecture

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This study focuses on the importance of the quality of space through the introduction of water and its influence on the human reactions. Each space we enter has the potential to create a lasting impression in our mind. In other words, a space evokes emotions and reveals the phenomenological nature of elements such as water. The nature of water is revealed as it is presented in different ways. Each water event seeks to be a catalyst for creating atmospheres for human experience.
