ABSTRACT
Adaptive architecture will have occupant-centered goals that help occupants to advance physiological, intellectual, behavioral and emotional. The order in which different stimuli are presented to occupants through a design can make a difference in how it gets perceived. Architects need to design for the correct sequence and combination of sensorial stimuli within their spaces. The intervention can serve to enhance the architecture's function by taking a more proactive role in the occupants' experience. In order to better understand experience, one has to unfold the timing of events making up that experience. As such, adaptive architecture can coordinate and intervene when necessary to enhance an occupant experience. There would be a link between occupant mood, shown through behavior, and the architectural emitted stimuli, which is color. Architectural way-finding serves as a good example of how an occupant can experience plasticity. Architects design hospitals to minimize pain; thus, using environmental elements to create a more positive context can accomplish this.
