Abstract
Architecture has a psychological effect upon those occupants who are accommodated in any architectural space. When designing an office space, the question then becomes, what kind of effect do they experience. And what about the qualities and consequential effects the architecture needs to be conveyed to the employees.
Additionally, looking at an office space might indicate ”successful” (or ”unsuccessful”) impressions. The question is: why it elicits such a human response. For example, is it the way the architect used color or spatial placement of features from one another, the acoustical design, Or even the lighting.
This research introduces a study of the notion of architectural psychology through the review of the effect of office spaces on employees’ behavior showing the elements that affect the occupants’ feelings of uncomfort or distressed in order to avoid it. The research shows that surroundings can and do have quite a significant effect on the way employees feel and how they are likely to respond. Surroundings could be physical environment (layout & furnishing, air quality, light, color ... etc) or social environment (management, job design, home life ... etc).
The research surveys analytical study for two office building projects. Each project is analyzed describing the factors that affect behavior and experiences of the occupants positively and negatively.
Concluding remarks and conclusions are given to direct more attention toward office design, as an Important topic required to improve productivity.
