Discover how the design of buildings and urban spaces shapes human behavior, emotions, and well-being in Introduction to Architectural Psychology. This volume explores the psychological impact of architectural elements such as scale, light, materials, spatial layout, acoustics, and movement patterns. From historical influences (including ancient sacred architecture and modernist design) to contemporary research on wayfinding, territoriality, restorative environments, and the effects of sustainable versus conventional buildings, the book bridges psychology and architecture. It examines real-world applications in hospitals, schools, workplaces, and cities, addresses cultural and inclusive design considerations, and looks ahead to smart buildings, virtual architecture, and psychology's role in tackling climate-adaptive design. Ideal for students in psychology, architecture, urban planning, and environmental design, as well as professionals seeking to create spaces that truly support human flourishing.
