Bringing Neuroarchitecture into Practice: A prototype exploratory study investigating a low-cost accessible EEG research method for interactive variables effects of architecture characteristics, with Part 2 Dissertation 2026 Alexander Park-Wilson University of Bath | UK Architecture affects people's emotions, behaviour, cognition, perception, physiology and well-being. Despite this, designers have limited evidence-based metrics for assessing how characteristics of their designs affect people. Therefore, designers need an affordable, practical way to analyse these effects during the design process.This dissertation investigated these effects and their practical application. Creating a prototype exploratory study testing three variables of light temperature, spatial scale and the presence of vegetation using low-cost consumer electroencephalography (EEG) alongside self-report metrics for emotional and neurophysiological responses. Examining the variables’ interactive effects addressing a gap in research, as they are usually studied in isolation.The findings indicate that low-cost EEG can detect measurable differences in responses to architectural stimuli, suggesting support for an evidence-based emotional feedback design tool. And also indicates that interactive effects do occur, for example, warm light’s effect may change depending on the scale of a space or the presence of vegetation. Therefore, researching these variables separately may fail to reflect how built environments influence people.This project establishes a foundation for an analytical tool; aiding architects compare design options by their effect on people. Such as targeted calmness scores in public areas, engagement in schools or recovery in hospitals. While also identifying limitations, including sample size, artefacts, limited electrode count, short stimulus exposure and reduced immersion. Further research could combine EEG and other biosensors with gaze tracking to produce emotional heatmaps over architectural designs, aiding designers in identifying positive and negative effects for more informed, evidence-based human-centred design decisions for improved human wellbeing.
