The Influence of the Environment on Our Mood and Emotions: The Role of Architecture and Nature

Abstract

The role of the environment, the symbiosis of nature and architecture, is crucial in building a healthy psycho-emotional state of an individual. The perception of architectural and natural surroundings can evoke various psycho-emotional sensations and engage different types of neural connections, including the construction of associative chains to suppress or enhance feelings. It can be said that architectural spatial design is a unique instrument of influence and impact on the observer.
