You can Build the Architecture of Happiness?

In the autumn of last year in England studying some ultra modern as part of a trip to press the project called living architecture.   Happy times to adjust the photos of these modern buildings, a woman told me: ' make sure that there are people in the photos; Architecture is about people. "it was Jane Wernick, design engineers, who later told me that he published a book about how architecture affects our psyche.


The joy of building: architecture make you smile, this collection of essays, architects, designers, political consultants, engineers and other great thinkers who discussed the way in which we Architecture design in Delhi our buildings and environments can affect directly the happy, how we feel?

The authors of the book are part of the building futures, the Royal Institute of British architects from incubator to examine how and where people live and what kinds of buildings and the environment in the next 20-50 years.

In this way we can build happiness?

While some in the book agree with the statement that there is a direct relationship between architecture and good humor, most agree that a good architectural design allows for positive relationships and social interactions between people and buildings, and dwellings.

The need for physical objects of light, sound and temperature as well as the need for culture and community were also mentioned as important architectural elements can contribute to happiness.
Aversion to places that make us feel alienated and out of control, a recurring theme among the judgments, and as Wernicke noted, the best places are the ones that make us feel like we're in control, and allow good social interaction and the opportunity to be with nature.

Wernicke also asked people with a penchant for architecture and buildings to describe places that make them happy.  Happy place, journalist Kirsty Wark was the Glasgow Museum; sculptor Antony Gormley has chosen its own Studio as your happy place; and architect Richard Rogers in patio spaces of the River Café Restaurant in London.  (Rogers says that three things in life bring happiness food, sex and architecture).

And Wernick happy place? Is one in which she had a hand in the design of the gateway, Treetop Xstrata at the Royal Botanic Garden, which offers a long walk between deciduous hardwood trees 18 feet above the ground.


Build happiness did not design the hard and fast conclusions about architecture directly affects happiness, but it can make you smile and think "State of mind" for those who design, plan and build our favourite places.
