ELEMENTS OF ARCHITECTURE AFFECTING THE POSITIVE ENERGY OF A SPACE

INTRODUCTION
According to the universal law Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be transferred from one form to the other. Every space carries some energy. This energy is transferred to the living and non-living objects occupying that space. Hence the energy of the object depends on the energy of the space. It is therefore necessary to create some positive energy in the space so that this positive energy is transferred to the objects and occupants occupying the space. From In point of view of the seminar, object refers to a human mind using the space. In terms of Architecture, there are a few elements that affect the positive energy of a space. Prominent among them are natural lighting (Portila, 2011) , landscape, water bodies and their pleasing sound, colour and odour of the space. The odour of the space can come from the construction materials or any other. For an easy understanding lets name these factors as supporting factors. All these affect the human mind in their own ways. It is important to study how these elements can affect the human mind positively and use them in creating that space. Once these factors are taken into consideration, we could create a space that is positive and likable. Hence the scope of the seminar.

Neuroscience Neuroscience (Zeki, 2003) is a subject that gives the answers of the human mind thinking. Effect of light, sound and surrounding is different for different states of human minds. Since here we are talking in terms of design and arts, the study of Neuroaestehtics is important. Mind or human brain is made up of around 100 billion neurons. These neurons are connected to each other forming neuron loops. These loops under oscillations that is responsible for the human senses. Mediation is one of the methods that modify this oscillation to perform better. Hence humans have discovered their power over mind. The study of the human mind the basic knowledge to get into the topic and design a positive space.

AIM
To study how elements of architecture like light and landscape can affect a mind positively and help in designing a positive space.

TASK
Human mind

Reaction to the supporting factors Positive

Negative

Space Design

APPLICATION
Every space is effective only when it is likable and the person using the space develops a sense of belongingness to the space. Once the supporting factors are well understood, we could apply it in the design of any kind of space.

PROJECTS
As an architect, we possess the power to affect the feelings of a space. This seminar mainly focusses on the human mind and health. Accordingly my interests mainly rely on the design of a 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Rehabilitation centre Hospital Yoga institute Meditation centre Educational institute.

The design of any of these spaces is crucial and a best way to implement my research on positive spaces is what I believe.
