Course Objectives
The main objective of the course is to enable students with an understanding of people and environmental studies (as well as architectural and environmental psychology) through a critical survey of the literature related to the assessment of space;
to develop an understanding of scientific research methods applicable to the field of architecture;
to gain an awareness of the changes in architectural space over the course of time and environment; and
to dwell on the concept of spaciousness; its measurement and usage in architectural studies.
Course Content
A study of Architectural Psychology and a critical survey of the literature related to the assessment of space. Students are encouraged to take an active role and engage in research activities that have both theoretical and practical relevance to our understanding and evaluation of space. The relevant statistical techniques and psychological concepts will be introduced where necessary.
