The document discusses the relationship between human psychology and architecture. It states that appropriate use of architectural components like color can positively impact atmosphere, while inappropriate use can have negative effects. For example, white walls reflect more light and make a space feel brighter and more pleasant. It also lists some key architectural elements that can influence human psychology, such as building forms, lighting, landscaping, and acoustic design. Finally, it provides examples of psychological findings related to architectural design, such as less aggression in Alzheimer's patients in private rooms with personal objects.

HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURE  HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY IS DIRECTLY RELATED WITH ARCHITECTURE  APPROPRIATE USE OF VARIOUS ARCHITECTURAL COMPONENTS [SUCH AS COLOUR OF THE WALLS] HAS THE CAPACITY OF ENLIGHTENING THE ATMOSPHERE WHEREAS INAPPROPRIATE USE DOES THE OPPOSITE  FOR EXAMPLE: A ROOM WITH WHITE COLOURED WALLS REFLECTS LIGHT AND MAKES THE SPACE BRIGHTER AND MORE PLEASURABLE TO BE INSIDE  IN ADDITION TO COLOURS; THE BUILDING ,FUNCTIONS INCORPORATED IN IT, NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE SPACES AROUND
SOME OF THE COMPONENTS OF ARCHITECTURE WHICH AFFECTS HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY ARE:  BUILDING FORMS  POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SPACES  COLOURS  OPENINGS  LIGHTING  ACOUSTICS  SOUND CONSTRUCTION  GREEN TECHNIQUES  LANDSCAPES
 ARCHITECTURE IS A FORM OF HUMAN EXPRESSION ,PORTRAYING THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE COLLECTIVE OR THE INDIVIDUAL CREATOR  THE FATHER OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY CARL JUNG DESCRIBED A BUILDING AS “A STRUCTURAL DIAGRAM OF HUMAN PSYCHE”  LIKE ART, ARCHITECTURE OFFERS A VEHICLE FOR CONVEYING OUR DEEPEST THOUGHTS
KEY PSYCHOLOGICAL FINDINGS IN AN ARCHITECTURAL BUILD ENVIROMENT ARE:  WHEN PEOPLE WITH ALZHEIMERS HAVE PRIVATE ROOMS WITH THEIR OWN PERSONAL OBJECTS AROUND THEM, THEY EXHIBIT LESS AGGRESSION, ANXIETY AND FEWER PSYCHOTIC SYMPTOMS  THE BRAIN DEVELOPMENT OF PREMATURE BABIES CAN BE DISRUPTED BY ARTIFICIAL LIGHTNING  PEOPLE CAN BE ENCOURAGED TO DRIVE THROUGH NEIGHBOURHOODS MORE CAREFULLY USING PSYCHOSOCIAL MEASURES, FOR EXAMPLE BY MAKING THE ROAD APPEAR NARROW. ACCORDING TO LATEST STUDIES ;BY REMOVING STREEET PROPS AND SIGNS ALTOGETHER THE SPEED OF VEHICLES CAN BE REDUCED. THE REASON BEHIND THIS IS THAT THE ROAD WITHOUT DIRECTIONS AND BOARDS MAY APPEAR MORE RISKY FOR THE DRIVER AND FINALLY HE SLOWS DOWN HIS VEHICLE.
