| Abstract | ||||
| Today, the effects of indoor environmental quality on the health and well-being of people is a very important topic and require a comprehensive approach in which the main environmental factors are simultaneously assessed and enhanced, With the aim of improving their health and psychological condition and targeting the disabled, the handicapped, and patients in medical and psychological treatment centers for the elderly. With the multiplicity and diversity of the category used for these examples, it has become difficult to determine the requirements of each individual user and provide optimal conditions to speed up the recovery process and improve the quality of physical and psychological health. Sometimes the user may not feel comfortable without knowing the reason, despite the availability of many requirements and facilities for him, Thus, the feeling of not belonging to the space is enhanced, due to the lack of designs and determinants with symbols and connotations that mimic the nature of the user, his requirements, beliefs, and his physical and moral conditions. Therefore, many interactive kinetic design stimuli contribute to giving an architectural imprint for each user, facilitating interaction with him and simulating his conditions, or even contribute to improving his psychological and physiological condition in order to achieve the highest productivity of the activity he exercises in the space. Certainly, this in turn enhances the user's belonging to his or her residing environment and creates a personal identity for the architectural design based on his biometrics. This research expands the perceptions of design thought to improve the emotional experience of the human being within the space, and This approach is a framework for transforming the built environment into a networked organism that is intelligent, empathetic, sensitive, and adaptable, But under the overall control of the user, And that is through biometrics that is used as inputs guiding the vocabulary of the dynamic interactive architecture of the interior design, For direct interaction at the appropriate speed to the current conditions of the patient in real-time. | ||||
