The Bare Essentials

In order to ground my project and tie up the medley of blog posts I have produced, I will attempt to clearly establish my vision for my audience as a good client would do for a firm. My goal for the project is to find uses for psychology in architecture in order to improve the process of creation. In order to to this though, I must first show that environmental factors of a building and space do indeed affect people mentally and psychologically. Thus, for the remaining duration of my project, I will be pursuing past research on the psychological connections between factor and effect on user. The nine factors that I have compiled so far are present in nearly every room: 

1. Color
2. Space 
3. Walls
4. Ceilings
5. Floors
6. Furniture
7. Lighting
8. Technology/Accessories
9. Acoustical Characteristics

By the end of my SRP, I will have delved a bit deeper into each factor and have divulged the psychological effects each are currently linked to. The only time I will stray from this list will be to detail some more anecdotes from the firm or to share something interesting I discovered on the relationship between psychology and architecture. 

A great article that initially inspired my project:
