Recreating Episodic Memories Through Immersive Environments
This thesis investigates how architectural design elements evoke emotional responses, influence the encoding and retrieval of episodic memories, and engage sensory perception within built environments. By analyzing the impact of spatial configuration, lighting, materials, colors, and sensory stimuli on emotional experiences, the research aims to elucidate the mechanisms underlying memory formation and the creation of memorable architectural experiences. Ultimately, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between architecture, emotion, and memory, with implications for the design of more enriching and impactful built environments.
