Nikita Sheth
​Architectural Psychology

"I'm an architect working on outlining and then writing a three part book on architectural psychology.

The first part focuses on theoretical knowledge in the domain. Where I plan to gather all the existing data and theories on the implications of physical spaces on the user psyche.

The idea is to study and inter relate these theories so as to draw hypotheses for the base of the next book which will attempt to analyze them in detail.

I'm looking for collaborators from different design, architecture and planning domains to work with me.

Each individual shall receive the due credit and a compensation will be provided for those who have co- authored a chapter or invested an equal amount of time and knowledge to the book once it is published.

​If interested in this research project, connect with me at: ns@nikitasheth.com"

​
The concept of “emotional architecture” is decades old, a reaction to the trend of minimalist modern architecture of the mid-century, a response with the goal of creating spiritually uplifting built environments that appeals deeply to one’s inner being.

​A Sustainable Solution

​A common misconception is that retractable roofs are only used for aquatic centers when in fact, the range of applications is far broader. In fact, retractable roofs are an ideal solution for many building types and are a key strategy for creating green buildings, whether new or existing. A retractable roof transforms an indoor space into an outdoor space with the push of a button.

Retractable roofs promote the extensive use of daylighting and natural ventilation. Not only does this save significant amounts of energy, but it also contributes to the health and well-being of building occupants. A well-ventilated space is desirable for reducing the risk of airborne disease transmission. In this time of COVID-19, a retractable roof can help building managers provide spaces that feel healthy and safe.

The Unsung Story of Eichler Homes and How They Helped Integrate American Neighborhoods

Joseph Eichler’s name is synonymous with the stylish, midcentury homes that his development company brought to the suburbs of California. His role in fighting for fair housing policies and integrated neighborhoods, however, is lesser known.
