Abstract
Science helped the architecture from the late nineteenth century in various ways, including structural design techniques, acoustic design relations, lighting calculations, and so on. Nowadays, with the advancement of neuroscience, theories have been developed based on the potential of this science in helping to design the therapeutic spaces adapted to the human brain and as a result to reduce many of today's health and treatment problems, such as stress and the patient's mental pressure. Neuroscience seems to help codification of a paradigm for architecture. Considering the fact that more than 91% of human’s life are spent in indoor spaces, interior design that guarantees the well-being and health of the human brain and responds to its needs is of great importance. This research seeks to revive a relationship between the internal architecture of children's Hospitalization room and neuroscience to be able to prioritize the factors affecting design, using aesthetic neurological theories and environmental preferences, and suggest approaches to improve this relationship and consequently, reduce treatment duration. In this study, using the hypothesis that children's first preference in bed rooms is the use of childish elements in interior design, neuroscience has been used with cognitive approach and eye tracking. By examining the points where eye fixation takes place, patterns of visual perception of individuals and points of interest in architecture are identified. In this research, the visual perception of children to the interior of the hospital room has been investigated by simulation technique and using PUPIL dev 1 eye tracking device with a precision of 0.6 degrees. Sample size was 10 female students from Shahid Mahdavi in district one of Tehran and random sampling was done. The investigated images were 10 different perspectives from an angle of the children's hospitalization room with different intrinsic decoration, from simple to complex. Spots of space that draw children's attention in the first 10 seconds are examined to clarify selective attention and emotional responses so that a platform for recognizing the effect of architecture on the treatment process could be provided. Color, form, texture, furniture and childish decoration have been evaluated as the main elements of internal architecture.
Part of the results indicate that the priority of children's attention in Hospitalization rooms is childish elements. Also, color plays a stronger role comparing to form in their view. As expected the near-nature tissues take more attention in relation to other patterns. Understanding visual perceptions in the medical environment can be an introduction to improving the environmental conditions and accelerate the treatment process by improving level of user satisfaction.
