| dc.description | Kansei is a Japanese term used to express one’s impression towards artefacts, situations, and surroundings [1]. Deeply rooted in Japanese cultural background, the term has not a direct English translation, seemingly corresponding to the ideas of “sensitive recognition”, “sensitivity of affection”, and “emotion”, even if these definitions are not comprehensively recognized by all researchers in this field [2]. Consequently, the kansei approach and methodologies in design development have been recognized only lately in the western world. Research about human feelings and emotions, especially in relation to art and design, has notoriously fostered vibrant discussions since the studies of Kant and Baumgarten about the ‘cognitio sensitiva’ (sensitive awareness) and psychology of emotion, to which the philosopher William James attempted authoritatively to answer in 1884, starting an ongoing debate which is still vigorously alive [3]. | |
| dc.description.abstract | Kansei is a Japanese term referred to human feelings activated at emotional level, once in contact or relation with a particular object or context. The Kansei Engineering (KE) method developed by Mitsuo Nagamachi in the 1970s introduced the kansei approach into design community for the first time. In this regard, Kansei Design (KD) is a novel holistic approach to users’ perceptions at cognitive level which seems appropriate to applications in architectural design. Scope of this paper is to investigate about specific approaches and methodologies currently adopted in KE and KD, which are mainly focused on intrinsic characteristics of artefacts, and their possible extension to applications in the fields of Architecture and Built Environment in terms of emotional quality of forms and spaces. keywords: Architecture and Built Environment; Kansei Design; Kansei Engineering; Semantic differential method | |
