Abstract(s)
A cor é um dos elementos inseparáveis do design do espaço, afetando o ser humano e as suas emoções, e permitindo melhorar o bem-estar, a qualidade de vida e conforto dos indivíduos. As cores têm efeitos estimulantes e calmantes que podem igualmente ajudar a melhorar a eficiência do desempenho no espaço. No entanto é frequente observar locais onde os utilizadores são sob ou sobre estimulados perante a exposição a uma determinada cor, por um determinado período de tempo, resultando na redução do desempenho. De acordo com a “Teoria do U invertido”, é possível demonstrar que, de forma a desempenhar qualquer atividade de forma otimizada, o nosso corpo necessita de alcançar um determinado nível ideal de excitação.
Este projeto pretende apresentar uma nova perspetiva à seleção de cores no design de ambientes, criando modificações nos planos arquitetónicos. O conceito proposto consiste na aplicação de cores estimulantes ou calmantes numa fase anterior à fase em que se espera que uma determinada ação ocorra, com o objetivo de auxiliar o utilizador a atingir o nível ótimo de excitação ótimo, melhorando e otimizando o desempenho. Consequentemente, o equilíbrio com o ambiente é estabelecido.
Color is one of the inseparable elements of space design, which affects on human bodies and emotions. It enhances welfare, quality of life and comfort of individuals. Colors have stimulating and calming effects that can help improve efficiency of performances in space. However, frequently we observe places wherein users become under - or overstimulated due to exposing to strong and constant area of a color for a period of time, that in both cases result in impaired functions. According to the studies which have been done, “Inverted-U” hypothesis demonstrate that, in order to do any task optimally, our body requires to reach at a certain optimum arousal level. This project pretends to introduce a new approach to color design in the project of spaces, creating modifications to the architectural plans. The proposed theory consists in the application of stimulating or calming colors in a phase before the phase in which a certain action is expected to occur. This helps the user to reach the optimal arousal level, which brings optimal performances. Consequently, balance is set in the environment.
