The effect of colors on the individual inside the architectural void
What is the effect of colors on the individual inside the architectural void? How does color affect architectural design and interior design? How do we choose colors in interior design carefully?
The first thing that we encounter when we look at emptiness is the element of color, and its importance lies in being the first element that attracts consideration of emptiness, such as the room. The colors is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an and the most prominent verses the Almighty says: For its color theorists are pleased “(Al-Baqarah: 69) when God Almighty wanted to describe the cow. He used colors as a distinctive characteristic and attracted attention, so the verse mentioned the color and its characteristic and mentioned the effect left from this color.
What is the color?!
Color as an element in design and in the environments around us touches the designer and has a great impact on the design, its quality, function and aesthetics, helping it to create a design identity as well as its marketing and function, whether it is interior or exterior design, city planning, urban planning, or even furniture or any design.
Color is not considered an aesthetic element only for design, but rather a functional component rather than an aesthetic element, as an example of this sportswear. The color on the psychological and physical condition of the players, as another example is reading in certain colors that stimulate reading, as well as the kindergarten place as well not only for the daily entry of the sun but also for a job in this place, it is a material that must be highlighted, studied and optimally employed.
- We do not see colors with the same degree and this is due to many reasons, including: different sense, perception, age, and different color analysis in the brain where you can see an unlimited number of colors. On the physical side, there are special cells in the retina of the eye to perceive color and interact with the differences may be infinite Our vision of colors and the colors that can be seen can be considered unlimited.
- Color exists everywhere around us and all artists and architects draw colors from nature to suit them and their consistency, with color making identity, the idea of juxtaposing colors, arranging them in a vacuum, and lighting interactions with them all achieve the desired result, in colors that touch our daily life directly.
What is the relationship between architecture and psychology and the effect of colors on the individual?!
Usually some people may ask about what is the relationship, how architecture relates to psychology and architecture shapes society and is part of our responsibility architects our social responsibility shapes society through our designs, it is important that the architect or any designer has a consideration for the design every space has a program and every program It requires mental ability or a specific mood when using it, whether these spaces are educational, medical, residential or professional in several ways. We can improve mental health through design. It may be through space in places or by lighting, whether it is artificial or natural or through Use the selection th Colors appropriate to the location used or by natural elements such as the use of water or green spaces.
Biophillic design.
Now we see the first point, the capacity of the place or the area of the place, whether it is, for example, an educational place, for example, schools, universities, or the workplace (vocational), usually large spaces, forming a feeling of intimacy that gives a kind of psychological comfort, especially for students from small ages, children, because what he loves feels restricted he feels The large areas give him the opportunity to move and work, and studies have proven that the large slice places increase the productivity rate by more than 72%.
Warm lighting 1000lumens _3000 lumens and always delete colors such as orange, available colors, or reddish some times neutral colors. Cold as you see this vase You see it in cold lighting, this lighting is neutral and this lighting is warm.
If the place needs a high concentration or high productivity, the cold colors usually help to the always but exposure to what is exposed for a long time causes tension and headache, and affects the focus until after a while from using it.
Therefore, warm colors are used in places where warm and relaxation is practiced, because they help to program the human body and prepare the human body for sleep and relaxation, because it relates to natural lighting, to come on. Lighting the sun and lighting the sun aims warm colors warm sunlight in nature, which is why we feel By relaxing with warm lighting when you under nature worm lighting, usually colors, materials and environments that are outside nature have a positive long-term effect on mental and physical health.
Colors and their relationship to lighting
Before entering the topic of colors, we would like to clarify the difference between the lighting color and the colors of pigments from absorption.
When color is absorbed, a person can see high pigmentation for paints. We have ton, view, and color shad. As for lighting types, they are a kind of reflection that gives a view of the atmosphere. Written or a study room and no semester, that a little while ago we talked that warm lighting deletes orange and yellow colors, which give and prepare the body for relaxation and psychological comfort, and this difference between pigmentation and lighting, for example, the rooms that give red color is not necessarily the color of the wall color, for example, but it is possible Be by me It’s simple accessories in the room, the red color increases the appetite to eat and the green color (to bring the feeling of healthy diet (appendance) and here we have the happiness blue color and so on.
Black Color
We see, for example, the black color, many people see that the black color is a fine color, but its abundance in the place negatively affects the soul, as human nature tends to make a kind of link between black color and sad things, it’s a link within the psychology, so choosing the appropriate colors and spaces gives a great effect On the human psyche, especially over a long period.
We have in our societies the reception room, which is the most costly room for design and attention in terms of design, because it is present in Arab culture and has great interest in our societies.
But when we see the designs for the reception room, the colors or type of design is usually high and many classic details like what we observe with the decor and the use of the furniture royal and this is annoying in the long term so we see that we usually have a lot of sitting in this room for a long time because it causes a kind of inconvenience The tension and uneasiness because it is what does not have natural elements neither in the colors nor in the simplicity of the design and like what we see the choice of these decorative chandeliers all cause inconvenience and became with the development of design tends to simple designs and looking at a simple history of classic design how it entered us in societies, especially in society M A third of our society sees that the colors and decorations used in the ancient paintings are related to the royal families, giving a sense of the status. Choosing intense colors such as red, blue, these are precious colors for them, and it gives a kind of social status. The most expensive dyes were blue, purple, and red because they were not present. In nature, such as the color of henna or green, this was present in herbs. These are very expensive colors, and therefore the former were only used by people of higher classes, so we have developed by design that we move away from it a little because the human instinct tends to things related to nature.
Distinguished architectural designs, and their impact on the psychological state
We can take into account the experiment on health buildings and hospital design. A hospital in Singapore has been designed and the effect of the presence of, for example, water trees have a significant non-cosmetic, spiritual or social impact that helps patients even on the healing process and studies have proven that hospitals that use natural elements in their designs help even On the healing of patients compared to designs to what have natural elements over time, we have seen that evolution helps people from nature because of the congested cities and crowds. We find all lands covered by all buildings, nature is rare, we notice them in cities, especially large and crowded cities, and leaves Few green, blue, or natural colors, this congestion causes a major impact on our psyche and daily life, especially that more than 75% of the human body’s content is made of natural water that we have an attraction to the presence of water and natural elements to the point that the sound of water and the presence of water and exposure to it leads to improvement Your mental and even physical health is very important.
For example, a dentist clinic usually has dentist offices in which to place fish ponds in there. There is a reason for it. 27% increase in productivity and 32% of positive psyche with installation of a fountain due to sound, smell of water, or exposure to water on a daily basis. We notice the same result in the commercial complexes, for example, the complexes are not without water, music, and moderate temperatures and help people to shop for a longer period of time. Commercial complexes are a source of entertainment because there is a design related to the natural elements and social responsibility of the architect. Not only is building a building and construction means permanent part of society, it has a deeper meaning and we appreciate the benefit in a deeper sense through mental and mental health.

Main elements related to mental health, during design.
The main elements are usually related to nature, I mean studies always prove that biophillic design to give natural light like sunlight, for example, the presence of large windows in the design, or even in Thailand in one of the clinics related to the cancer center and healing of cancer oncology patient, they would not have had the possibility to go out to enjoy sunlight Such as the skin cancer patient was affecting them through treatment, which had to devise an industrial method by design, choosing appropriate colors in the room and screens in which there is an unnatural light, artificial lighting, or the use of biomimicry design, such as fake trees or a type of column, to give an representation of nature that helps with that. Nature is one of the best … you feel it The nature of the best way to treat human nature depend on it design environment that is close to everything that helps psychological and physical comfort, whether for treatment or other
The priorities in design changed, and cultures changed in the times. The available spaces were greater. In a kind of priority for the central curtail, I mean, about homes in Saudi Arabia, we had (monsters) in the middle, and the rooms became their orbit and the elements that changed the design. Attention privacy is a kind of privacy, so the rooms have a special role in them, which means what you look for from the room, with your feet in front of the monsters, and the whole family gathered around the monsters here. It has become a kind of privacy. The second elements that changed this thing.
Man tends to neutral colors related to natural colors, white sandals, beige, green, and azure. These neutral colors mean even studies of psychology have proven that most of the colors in our lives and the ability to bear these colors when we are exposed to bear them for a longer period because human instinct tends to things Related to nature.
