ABSTRACT
Mind and emotion will be associated with the perception of the world and the awareness of the body’s experience in space in an attempt to build a reasoning centered on the disciplinary area of architecture. The influence of mind and emotions on the design and experience of architecture will be discussed through three approaches: mind, emotions, and Memory, Imagination, and Creativity.The reader will be guided through a process of consciousness of her own body, its presence in space, and the emotions that arise from the experience of her body in space. Through interdisciplinary approaches, we will discuss the importance of mind and emotions for the body’s experience in space and the power of architecture to stimulate our body’s experiences and consequently unleash our creativity. The approaches intend to stimulate a debate where themes, ideas, and authors from the fields of architecture, philosophy, and neuroscience will be brought together. Through this interdisciplinary discourse, we intend to highlight the evolutionary potential of the interconnection between the different areas of human knowledge.Understanding the body, the mind, and its emotions makes us more conscious and capable of controlling the situations in which we live. In this way, we strengthen our ability to make wise decisions and empower our imagination and creativity.
