Abstract

In pursuit of a new and interdisciplinary approach to archi- tecture, the following theoretical framework is the first part, consisting of two, developed for a Master Thesis. This first part aims to establish a list of applicable principles for an architectural project in the second part. To understand the consequences of a space, three existing theories are inves- tigated by way of a neurophysiological approach. The aim is to apprehend architecture through the scope of sensory, specifically thermal sensory, and furthermore establish a theory, consisting, inter alia, of a list of principles.
