Investigating Human Energy Levels in the Interior and Exterior of a Dome: A Comparative Analysis

Abstract

It has become crucial to live in serene and soothing environments to be healthy and tranquil. Contemplative areas can guide the architecture to a higher spiritual plane which generates a feeling of calmness. It is possible to characterize the present era as turbulent, uncertain, and changeable. Technical breakthroughs and a desire for peaceful settings has to go hand in hand along with rapid urbanization and excessive intensification. Traditional architecture frequently had a specific function in mind when it was designed, and future users, uses, or environmental changes were rarely considered. However, it is now asserted that climate change, shifting demographics, resource depletion, and cost difficulties necessitate building flexibility immediately. It is thought that architecture of the 21st century needs to be similarly flexible and adaptable for a number of reasons, the most crucial of which being the user's experiences and mental health. Instead of demolishing buildings to create landfills, architecture should be designed to be dismantled, rebuilt, and repurposed to create spaces for reflection which produces peaceful and serene spaces. There are several ways that architecture can create these places. The experiment used in the current study was based on comprehensive literature surveys and experiments in the disciplines of form and architecture along with its impact on human mental status. This study focuses on the investigation of effects of the physical environment and dome on the energy levels of humans. By offering a place where people are free to ponder or meditate and feel the present moment, different environments can be built that help experience more connecting to themselves. Such quiet areas can be helpful for those who are stressed or depressed.
