INTERIOR DESIGN
SPACE - EMOTION - BEHAVIOR
Project background
This experimental design project aims to explore how spatial elements impact emotional experiences in different types of spaces. The research site is the M+ Museum in Hong Kong, which utilizes unique spaces to create various emotional conditions. The project consists of three stages: collecting emotional data for different organic shapes in the first stage, testing spatial features of the museum in the second stage, and creating emotion-specific exhibition spaces in the third stage to elucidate the impact of forms and spaces on emotions. The ultimate goal of the project is to gain a deeper understanding of how spatial design impacts emotions and explore new directions in emotional design.
In addition, the project utilizes a multidisciplinary research approach that combines neuroscience, psychology, and design to collect emotional data, test spatial features, and create emotion-specific exhibition spaces, aiming to further explore and understand the impact of space on emotions from multiple perspectives. This will help design more emotionally rich and engaging spaces, bringing new directions and inspirations to the field of spatial design. Therefore, the project's significance is far-reaching, marking an important step in exploring the complex relationship between emotions and spatial design.
Phase 1 : Experimental Space Form and Emotion Recognition
In the first phase of the study, a series of experimental spaces will be created using various organic shapes and forms, such as spaces mimicking the growth of tree branches or the structure of bones. Participants will wear VR goggles and EEG devices to experience these spaces and collect data on their emotional changes within each environment. The collected data will help to document and categorize the elements that influence emotional changes, such as variations in the size, reflection, and density of organic forms.
