Application of Stream of Consciousness Theory in Creating Dynamic Spaces in Contemporary Architecture

Abstract

This article explores the application of the stream of consciousness theory in designing dynamic spaces in contemporary architecture. Emphasizing immersive experience and sensory interaction, this theory provides an approach to creating spaces that cater not only to physical needs but also to the psychological and cognitive requirements of users. Through theoretical analysis and case studies, this research examines examples of dynamic architectural designs that practically apply the principles of this theory. Findings suggest that incorporating the stream of consciousness theory in the design of dynamic spaces enhances user satisfaction and fosters a stronger sense of place attachment. Additionally, this approach allows architects to create flexible, responsive spaces that adapt to the changing needs of users, providing a personalized and multi-sensory experience. Despite its notable benefits, the theory presents certain limitations, such as high design costs and the need for advanced technology, which may restrict its broader application. Recommendations for overcoming these challenges and integrating the theory with innovative technologies are discussed. Concluding with suggestions for architects and researchers and proposals for future studies, this article emphasizes that the stream of consciousness theory can serve as an effective and reliable framework for designing dynamic spaces, ultimately enriching user experiences and quality of life.
