Innovative Approaches for Shading Design to Improve Psychological Comfort in Synaptic Spaces

Farahat, Baher Ismail; Alaeddine, Helga Omar

This book explores how innovative shading design improves psychological comfort in synaptic spaces – those dynamic and transitional built environments where people connect, engage, and interact. Bridging architecture, environmental psychology, and neuroarchitecture, it proposes efficient cutting-edge strategies to create responsive and flexible environments. It examines shading as a powerful design tool that transcends function to shape psychological experience, sensory balance and spatial identity. Through interdisciplinary research and case-based analysis, the book offers valuable practical guidance for architects, urban designers, and researchers seeking to create human-centered environments that foster well-being and enhance the quality of lived spaces through thoughtful design.
