Abstract

Are architects able to design buildings which their framework could improve creativity and help to reduce people’s psychological and social disorders? The answer to this question requires to have a correct and rigorous understanding of issues that have a direct influence on the subject such as, being familiar with occupant’s needs and their cultural and physical environments. This knowledge provides a suitable foundation for architects to design more suitable and appropriate buildings.Because of interdisciplinary nature of the profession of architecture, apart from regular subjects in the architectural curricula subjects like social science, sociology and environmental psychology and arts have direct influence in architectural design courses. Therefore, not only the final product but also the design approach or process should be taken into serious consideration. In other words, between the development of design concept in the mental environment of the designer and final result or physical product must be a direct and appropriate correlation, although the distance between these two processes are not very close.Throughout the history, the initial source of all inventions and innovations were based on the needs of individuals or societies, and in the course of time they usually have developed and evolved. Considering the population increase, pollution of global environment, limited natural resources and finally the social intricacy and complexity in the past decades have caused the development and application of environmental psychology in the profession of architecture unavoidable. Today environmental psychology is one of the important subjects in the well-known universities in mostly developed countries. This discipline deals with the positive and negatives aspects of the built environment in relation to the people’s behavior. In other words, the reaction of people’s behavior in relation to the physical environments and vice versa. Consideration of these phenomena in the building design would improve the quality of the built environments. This paper has attempted to indicate the importance and negligence of the subject of environmental psychology as a lost ring in the education of architecture, where it should have a major role in the curricula of academic architectural education in this country.
