It is great if you understand consciousness
Deep down in history, the basic aim for
the communities was to save the community from invaders and make life easier,
is it the same in recent time? As life moved ahead, meaning of community changed. We are concentrating to very nuclear communities, because the ability of
a person to choose and criticize has improved over a period of time. Today
everyone has their opinions, solutions and answer to every question/situation.
This individual Activeness towards society led us to the prison of mind and
this prison is called as consciousness of understanding the surrounding.
Consciousness is action and reaction process, in which we experience something and we react to it according to our perception and cognition. Reaction is the result of individual's perception, cognition, attention, emotion, intelligence, subjective experience, brain functioning and personality. If we go in depth of every aspect again we could end up in the prison.
Though we stand supreme in consciousness ladder, are the most vulnerable to the risk. Consciousness ladder is “Each organism on this planet have some level of understanding and reactions to its surroundings, and if these levels are mapped on a graph we find humans at the top.” This ladder is inversely proportional to the efficiency, in which nature tops the position. If we study consciousness carefully, a complex human can be interpreted through simple architecture.
Emotions are fundamental!
Consciousness can be the cause to the stimulation of feelings and assessment i.e. Thoughts. If moving through a designed space, it stimulates feelings and thoughts in the user then that space is said to be having some transitional value (TV). Transitional value is the combination of transitional feeling index (TFI) and transitional thought index (TTI). TFI and TTI are both subjective components based upon user experience and social validation. To understand TFI and TTI, we need to realize the territory of our mind:
1) External consciousness- It is the instant reactive responsive system (IRRS) responsible for this type of consciousness
2) Internal consciousness- It is the fractional responsive system (FSS) responsible for this type of consciousness.
Being aware of surroundings by critical thoughts is in disfavor of an architect, as it involves critics and cognition of the user. On the other hand being aware of surroundings by FSS is in favor of an architect, as it does no bias the original meaning. In a standard situation, emotions are primary over thoughts. For ex. If a small baby is being put into a situation, what would be the scenario, what would baby experience first? If we understand this phenomenon carefully, we can understand the transitional value (TV), enhancing the user experience.
If we think humanity as a whole, feelings are one of the aspect which are in the same basket for most of the people. So simplifying the steps of human behavior towards surroundings, we can make out some general points for most of the people which is the key point for GLOBAL PSYCHOLOGY. Studying global psychology, heads us to the future where we need fewer solutions for a significant number of problems, there we can start competing with nature in efficiency.
Architecturally TRANSITIONAL VALUE of a space is as important as its design. A space with less TV would fail in post occupancy evaluation, and leads to a whole lot of problems. Consciousness and TV runs parallel and have lots of connecting sleepers which represent the different aspects. To design a space, efficient psychology of human behavior is an important part in achieving desired goals.
It starts within you, after being we!
Careful and resourceful decisions of the designer would increase the value of space and help humanity to live with nature at its highest efficiency.
