With regard to the article "Psychologically Accessible" in the February 2005 issue of "Architecture Week" online - does anybody know of a school anywhere in the US or abroad that offers a course related to: the Psychology of Architecture. Would anyone out there be interested in collaborating in the development of sucha course? Thank you for your attention!

I recently found a book on psychology that began to give me detailed descriptions by I still wanted a collaborative working of my final scribblings. If a collaborative thesis was what you had in mind. I would be very interested in working with you.

I am looking into the study that someone posted at the University of Michigan, as I am a student at one of thier campuses. I would love to do my thesis on this... That will still be a year or two, but it is exciting.

It's a right pain to find stuff for! I've been reading anthropology and philosophy texts too,, for my part i tentatively suggest the following, which is in my "partly-read" pile: "The Hidden Dimension" by the anthropologist Edward T Hall (its on amazon for < £10). It's architecture and psychology for sure, but is all words. If its anything like his other books (which i've read) it'll be worth it. But it's a anthro text, not an architecture one (more in depth). He also wrote "The fourth dimensionin architecture", which is also in my "to read" pile, it's just like the results of a study to be honest. For the record, Oxford Brookes and UCL both run psychology modules in their RIBA-part-2 courses.

I ll try to order some the book that i saw in your replies. I ve looked in many countries for this kind of books, also China where I thought i would easily find, but no luck ( chinese architecture is also amazing and in my opinion a lot related with psychology!). I ll keep looking... If i get lucky i will let u all know.. Thank you guys.. Be good... _________________ christina filippa - architect

AP Joined: 31 Mar 2005 Posts: 580 Location: UK	Posted: Sun Mar 12, 2006 5:21 pm    Post subject: I just attended a talk over the weekend on "Space, Architecture and the Brain", in two parts 1 "From there to here" about our extended mind, the evolution of intelligence and the navigation of our environment. Dr Mike Wheeler, Philosophy, Stirling 2 "Social evolution" How societies shape and are shaped by space. Alan Penn, Professor of Architectural and Urban Computing, UCL It was really interesting, lots of stuff about "Space Syntax" which was reallly quite fascinating, but there don't seem to be any books on it (tho UCL does research). On the other hand the psychology-philosphy bit had a couple of books mentioned : Reconstructing the Cognitive World: The Next Step by M Wheeler Natural-Born Cyborgs: Minds, Technologies, and the Future of Human Intelligence by Andy Clark ... both on amazon. But both look like rather heavy books (though you can "look inside" clark's). Might be worth a read if anyone's libraries already has a copy...

The two fields are interrelated and I feel it is essential to the successful architect to "get inside the minds" of those who will be experiencing it...

It is a study of Richard Nuetra and how he helped bridge the gap between modern architecture and contemporary. The basic idea of the book is how architecture influences our subliminal and subconscious state of being and creates a "mood" and "atmosphere" of the place. IT goes into Fruedian theory about Birth Trama, and how architecture is "an attempt to return to the womb." It a little wierd, but i find it very interesting [img]http://mitpress.mit.edu/images/products/books/0262122685-f30.jpg[img]
