Abstract

Technological advancements in physiological body sensor networks (i.e., biometric tracking wearables) and simulated environments (i.e., VR) have led to increased research in the field of neuroarchitecture, specifically investigating the effects of architectural forms, defined here as subtle variations in the shape or configuration of the interior built environment, on neurological responses. While this research field is still in its nascent stages, early findings suggest that certain architectural forms may impact physiological stress responses. Physiological stress has, in turn, been implicated in the development of certain diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and autoimmune and neurodegenerative disorders. To aid future research, particularly into the relationship between media architecture and physiological stress, this paper conducts a systematic review following PRISMA-P guidelines on studies that evaluated physiological stress responses to architectural form using clinical biomarkers. The review identifies the specific clinical biomarkers used to evaluate physiological stress responses to architectural forms and the distinct categories of architectural forms that have, to date, been correlated with elevated stress responses: curvature, enclosure and proportion. Although these studies' findings imply that the identified architectural forms influence physiological stress, their generalisability is arguably constrained by several factors. These constraints include the paucity of research in this area, the lack of uniformity in the definition and measurement of these architectural forms, the varying contextual settings, the unisensory approach of research methodologies, and the duration of exposure under evaluation. The review concludes that clinical biomarkers may be used to measure the impact of architectural form on physiological stress; however, future research should strive for standardized approaches in defining and measuring architectural forms in order to increase the transferability and robustness of results.

建筑形式对生理压力的影响:系统综述
人体生理传感器网络(即生物特征跟踪可穿戴设备)和模拟环境(即 VR)方面的技术进步促进了神经建筑领域的研究,特别是研究建筑形式对神经反应的影响,这里的建筑形式是指室内建筑环境的形状或配置的微妙变化。虽然这一研究领域仍处于起步阶段,但早期研究结果表明,某些建筑形式可能会影响生理压力反应。生理压力反过来又与某些疾病的发生有关,包括心血管疾病、癌症、慢性肾病、非酒精性脂肪肝以及自身免疫和神经退行性疾病。为了帮助未来的研究,特别是研究媒体建筑与生理压力之间的关系,本文按照 PRISMA-P 指南,对使用临床生物标记评估建筑形式的生理压力反应的研究进行了系统综述。综述确定了用于评估建筑形式生理压力反应的特定临床生物标志物,以及迄今为止与压力反应升高相关的不同建筑形式类别:弧度、围合和比例。尽管这些研究结果表明,已确定的建筑形式会对生理压力产生影响,但它们的普遍性可能会受到一些因素的制约。这些限制因素包括:该领域的研究较少,对这些建筑形式的定义和测量缺乏统一性,背景环境各不相同,研究方法采用单一感官方法,以及所评估的暴露时间长短。综述得出结论,临床生物标志物可用于测量建筑形式对生理压力的影响;然而,未来的研究应努力采用标准化方法来定义和测量建筑形式,以提高结果的可转移性和稳健性。
