An examination of the secret psychology of the city and how it affects our daily happiness.
More and more of us are choosing to live in the man-made environment of the city. The mismatch between this artificial world and our nature-starved souls can contribute to the stresses of city living in a way that is barely noticed—but is crucially important.
What does the science of architectural psychology tell us about how the world of brick and concrete affects how we think, feel and behave?
In an increasingly crowded urban world, how does good urban design inspire, restore and bring us together?
Conversely, how does bad architecture cause anxiety, alienation and depression?
Starting with the home and reaching out to the street, neighbourhood and wider city landscape, Headspace teaches us how to see our cities differently, and how we can best adapt to our rapidly changing urban world.
Praise for Headspace
“Full of interesting nuggets. Presents the results of scores of scientific studies into the physical environment and does so in a pleasant, discursive way.” —Will Wiles, RIBA Journal
“A properly glorious book. Amazing.” —Monocle Radio
“Links what we build with what we do. It’s an important question—an architectural holy grail, in a way.” —Evening Standard

    when the room temperature was lower (20˚ Celsius), employees made 44 per cent more mistakes than when the temperature was five degrees higher. They speculated that under colder conditions employees were using up a lot of their energy keeping warm, rather than maintaining focus on their work. They also found that when individuals had warmer hands they had greater job satisfaction and felt more generous towards their colleagues.

    The lesson here may be that we must be allowed to take control – moving from workspaces with stimulating colours to areas with natural, restorative colours when we feel overloaded

    compared to traditional fluorescent lighting, warmer LED appears to support positive mood, extended wakefulness and better performance on cognitive tasks.
