Research on The Emotional Experience of Architectural Apace For Users: A Case Study of Cologne Cathedral

Cologne Cathedral's architectural design significantly influences users' emotional experiences through strategic use of color, materials, spatial layout, and cultural elements. This study identifies how these features evoke deep emotional responses, offering insights into humanized design principles that enhance user experience. By analyzing the cathedral as a case study, researchers propose actionable strategies for future architectural projects to prioritize emotional resonance alongside functionality and aesthetics. The findings suggest that integrating cultural symbolism, material texture, and spatial arrangement can create more meaningful and engaging environments. This research bridges theoretical foundations with practical applications, guiding architects toward more emotionally intelligent design approaches.
