ROOM DYNAMICS – A NEW ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT

A room, although apparently static, is in fact a complex, multidimensional structure, changing due to various factors. This has a direct impact on the atmosphere and perception of a place and its effect on the user. This article aims to provide a definition of ‘room dynamics’, related to the emotional and energetic aspects of a place. The term refers to the interaction between the passive or active user, the interior and its components. The introduction of this concept allows for a better definition and understanding of the connections that occur between man and space. The scientific literature on environmental psychology and architecture was analysed to identify the key elements of space that are indicative of the ‘’livability‘’ of a room and their impact on human psychological well-being. The review indicates the importance of incorporating psychology into the design process to create spaces that encourage interpersonal harmony and a positive atmosphere.
