- Synopsis:
-
Applied psychology of architecture is the part of psychology knowledge that architects should become familiar with within their profession in order to better orient themselves in the context of the impact of their work on human society and to properly position themselves in the process of creating an artificial environment.
- Requirements:
-
A practical approach
- Syllabus of lectures:
-
- Psychology of authors and users
- Psychology of communication between authors and users
- The psychology of the creation and influence of the architectural environment
- Syllabus of tutorials:
-
Testing, self-knowledge, learning the basics of Applied Psychology of Architecture in relation to lecture topics.
- Study Objective:
-
The aim of the course is to supplement technical education with useful knowledge that can be used in everyday architectural practice and to be better prepared for what awaits each graduate after graduation - the job market and the associated daily interaction with people.
Designing fulfils 25% of the architect's practice, communication and interaction with people up to 75%, and the preparation during the studies should correspond to this.
Graduates of the Applied Psychology of Architecture course can then continue in the winter semester in the follow-up course (Psych. Arch. II.) Psychological Aspects of Communication in Architecture. This course already works with students who understand the basics of psychology and understand its possibilities and impact (If you don't know the basics of psychology, you have nothing to build on, so we recommend taking both courses).
„No human being or architect can see themselves without a mirror, and our course is the mirror we hold up to architects.“
