How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feelings Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scie ntists are giving this feeling an empirical(经验的, 实证
的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that pro mote creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation. Researches show that aspects of the physical environment ca n influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-
Levy at the of , reported that the height of a room’s ceiling aff ects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceili ngs encourage people to think more freely, which may lead th em to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the o ther hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.
In addition to ceiling he
ight, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupa nt’s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest in crease in greenness as a result of a family move made the m ost gains on a standard test of attention.
Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off ac ademically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Ke nneth Tanner, head
of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University
of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classr ooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the win dow had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily over looked roads and parking lots.
Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim (暗淡的) light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, ke eping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase r elaxation. Researchers of also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.
So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We have a very limited number of studies, so we’re almost lookin g at the problem through a straw(吸
管),” architect David Allison says. “How do you take answers t o very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That’s what we’re all struggling with.”
