Hong Kong
Human-Centred Design: Visuospace
The project’s central aim was to find a way of evaluating quality of living and working spaces, based on users' emotional and cognitive responses. Drawing on research into the socio-psychological effects on individuals living in continuously developing urban areas, this exhibition highlights the complex relationships between emotions and the environment, and spatial design and psychology. It takes a neuroscientific approach to the understanding and cognition of urban space.
By exploring cognitive patterns associated with various emotions, visuospatial processes were applied to identify, integrate and analyse space and visual form, details and structure in multiple dimensions. These help to visualize movement, depth and distance perception, and spatial navigation.
Leveraging these insights can enhance spatial and design quality, ensuring that our living environments prioritize humans and human experiences.
It will appear; I sense it
the splendour of brut concrete
and the impressiveness which it will
have had; the marriage
Of lines, details, structure and spatial relations; the weight of visual forms.
They are but half, giving to
life only one half
And the second part comes
to them; good or bad it comes to them
the two
