Abstract: (100 Views)
Problem Statement: How does place, beyond being a physical space, influence the formation of human identity, cognition, and experience? This article aims to explore this fundamental question by explaining the complex interaction between humans and the built environment.
Objective: To present a comprehensive model of the human sensory-motor experience and the creation of effective non-verbal communication with the environment, in order to facilitate the design of higher-quality and more humane spaces.
Methodology: Relying on a descriptive-analytical approach and an in-depth review of the literature, this article seeks to explain the hidden patterns between space, experience, and meaning. Qualitative text analysis has been a key tool in achieving this goal.
Findings: Place is not merely a physical setting but a meaningful context in which individual and collective identities are formed. Spatial symbols and visual elements, as a common language, enable communication with the environment and the creation of meaning. The human mind is strongly influenced by spatial structures, and spaces can affect perception, emotions, and behaviors.
Conclusion: With a deep understanding of the relationship between humans and place, we can design spaces that not only meet the physical needs of humans but also improve the quality of life, strengthen a sense of belonging, and shape collective identity. Mind, body, and environment are inextricably linked, and understanding this complex relationship is essential for creating sustainable and dynamic human environments. The presented model can be used as a tool for designers and urban planners.
