THE FORM OF AN ARCHITECTURAL OBJECT AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE PSYCHOPHYSICAL FEATURES OF A PERSON

The article examines the influence of architectural forms on the psychophysical characteristics of a person in the conditions of urbanization. The article provides a thorough analysis of how the aesthetic and functional characteristics of architectural objects affect the emotional state and behavior of city residents; determination of key elements of the visual environment that affect the psychophysical state of a person; recommendations for the development of architectural solutions that would contribute to the improvement of the psycho-emotional state of people. The article shows that the geometric shape of an architectural object is one of the important architectural features that affect the psychophysiological reactions of people. Geometric shapes have dynamic properties that influence our perception and reinterpretation of the structure of the environment. Each shape can evoke different emotional responses and associations, shaping our sense of space. For example, round shapes are often associated with nature, peace and security, while straight angles can evoke a sense of order, but at the same time can be perceived as cold and unpleasant. These dynamic properties of shapes become even more significant in the context of architecture, where they can influence the everyday experience of the occupants. For example, open, flowing forms in the design of public spaces can encourage social interaction, facilitating movement and interaction between people, while rigid, geometrically defined structures can create feelings of isolation or discomfort. Research shows that the perception of forms also depends on the context of their use. Universal principles of perception, such as the law of proximity and the law of similarity, can influence how people group and interpret information about the environment. This indicates that not only individual figures, but also their interaction and composition can shape our perception of space. Thus, architects and designers have an important opportunity to consciously use geometric shapes to create environments that affect the psycho-emotional state of people. Therefore, taking into account the dynamic properties of forms not only significantly improves the aesthetic appearance of architectural objects, but can also significantly improve the quality of life of city residents, providing comfort and a positive emotional background in everyday life.
