In our previous post How do emotions work? – Basic model of emotions we explained that people differ in their emotional responses towards a given building. Nevertheless, in spite of these interpersonal differences, the process of emotion, i.e. the way in which emotions are elicited, is universal. There is a basic process model of emotions. This model describes the eliciting conditions of emotions with the use of three underlying key variables: appraisal, concern and stimulus.
Now we’ll give you some specific examples of how the basic model of emotions works for architecture.
