Abstract

Architectural Design or architectural field and human psychology are sharing a vital relationship but it has been ignored all the time and unnoticed by the design industry. Interrelation of design and psychology is not just significant but also reciprocal. One side claims, effective design has been shown psychologically impacted and physiological effects; the other side, psychology, human experience, and the work of our neural systems all play a role in our perceptions of Successful design. This paper aims to explain how the dynamic relationship came to be and how it should function in today's era and how black architecture theory has an essential significance during the design process.  It accomplishes this by first looking at the working of the human brain and how the nervous system organized with it, how our forefathers adopted this structure and function.  It reviewed literature that how modern culture affects that function. The positive impacts and harmful effects with the similarities and interrelationships in-between nature, psychology, and our nervous system are examined with that context. The modern-day issue of human stress induced by poorly built buildings and spaces will be illustrated, design recommendations with the help of psychological study followed by a discussion on black architecture theory and architecture buildings.
