Abstract:
The value of a new evidence-based design approach to architectural forms is known. The paper then focuses on the essence of the interrelation between psychophysiology and geometric semantics as three-dimensional environment or stable patterns of architectural form as a semiotic structure. The architectural forming creativity is the process of generation of architectural form, the morphogenesis of "structural information”. The search for principles, methods, and regularities of the forming process should be carried out from the psychophysiology of perception and cognition of architecture. It’s an interdisciplinary study to understand the relations between the design of built-environments and associated human emotions. This interrelation represents the affective and reflex basis of the spatial imagination and the corresponding dominant activity of the neural network. It turns to be the basis of the study of psychophysiology of aesthetic emotions in the perception of form. The main subject of the paper is the discussion of proper theoretical base for revealing actual directions and methods for experimental work providing objective results in neuroscience, design research and developing the evidence-based design. A list of necessary experiments on personal emotional reactions on architecture objects is proposed. The conclusion gives the review of applying empirical scientific research knowledge to a creative design process.
