Architecture and Stress: The Role of Curves and Orthogonal Designs
Architectural design has a profound impact on stress levels, psychological wellness, and overall well-being. Curvilinear and orthogonal designs influenced by natural shapes, such as Zaha Hadid’s and Bauhaus geometries, have been proven to relieve stress and improve emotional responses.
This study explores how architecture employs curvilinear and orthogonal forms in the built environment to relieve stress levels. It examines how design choices are made based on the function of space, the perception of forms, their implementation and effect, the influence of........
