Study Notes

Behavioral Stress and Circuits

  • Behavior is how an animal or person responds to a situation or stimulus. It can also describe how a natural phenomenon or machine functions.
  • Stress is pressure or tension on a material object, or mental/emotional strain from demanding circumstances.

HPA Axis in Stress and Trauma

  • The HPA axis is a pathway in the brain that controls stress responses.
  • Electrical and chemical signals travel along neuronal pathways in this axis.
  • This axis also regulates the release of hormones like cortisol during stress.

What is a Circuit?

  • A circuit is a pathway in the brain that carries electrical and chemical signals.
  • The signals create a usually circular line that encompasses an area.

How Does Behavior Affect Architecture?

  • Architecture can impact people's moods, senses, behaviors, and emotional responses based on environment.
  • Architects consider emotional and behavioral aspects in building designs, but the effects are often not discussed directly.
  • Architecture is an intersection of the emotions, actions, and physical spaces used by people.

Cognitive Mapping in Architecture

  • Cognitive mapping is the mental representation of objects and locations in an environment.
  • Visual perception is connected to this mapping.
  • It uses landmarks, nodes, paths and edges to remember the space.

Building Materials as Expression of Architectural Design

  • Building materials demonstrate structure, aesthetics, and practicality.
  • Materials are symbolic of the structure's presence in architecture.
  • Great architects use materials to express concepts, structure, style, sustainability, and organic forms in architecture.
  • The type and use of materials help determine the design

What are the Building Materials That Are Used to Express Architectural Design?

  • The materials used to express architectural design depend on the project details.

Building Materials Used in Filipino Houses

  • In rural areas, Filipino houses have traditional architectural styles.
  • Local materials, such as bamboo, nipa, and other natural products are used because of availability and sustainability.

Construction Methods and Structures as Expression of Architectural Design

  • Various construction methods (horizontal, vertical, traditional, conventional, pre-fab, post-tensioning, wet and dry) play a role in architectural design.
  • These methods include traditional approaches and modern concepts, sometimes with safety-first considerations.

Examples of Structures That Express Architectural Design

  • Structures like the pyramids, Parthenon, Colosseum, Machu Picchu, Great Wall, Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower, Burj Khalifa, and Heritage City are examples of architectural design expressed through their form, construction materials, and importance of function.

What Are The Construction Method?

  • Construction methods are the procedures and techniques used during the building process.
