Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviour. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical (经验的,实证的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation.
Research shows that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2015, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room’s ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand,may inspire a more detailed outlook.
Besides ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant’s ability to concentrate.Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.
Using nature to improve the focus of attention ought to pay off academically. According to a study, students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.
A recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim(暗的)light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation.
So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We have a very limited number of studies, so we’re almost looking at the problem through a straw (吸管) ,” architect David Allison says. “How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That’s what we’re all struggling with. ”
