The form or shape of the built environment is fundamental to architectural design, but not many studies have shownthe impact of different forms on the inhabitants’ consciousness. This study will investigate the neurological correlatesof different interior forms on the perceivers’ affective state and the accompanying brain activity. There exists ameasurable and predictable relationship between the effect of the architectural form of buildings on their users’ brainwave frequencies, and then their consciousness status. Leveraging Electroencephalography (EEG), we quantitativelycapture brainwave patterns as participants navigate diverse architecturally designed spaces virtually. Key objective isthe development of a scientific measuring tool, aiding architects and designers in creating spaces tailored to desiredconsciousness states for optimal user experience and well-being.
