Welcome to the initiative
Emotive Transformation—Suffused Blossom #8
Venue: College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University, Shanghai
Welcome to the Exhibition
Join us to celebrate the debut of this extraordinary installation, which offers a tangible glimpse into the future of "Emotive Architecture"—where design transcends form to resonate deeply with inner responses—and stands as a testament to interdisciplinary innovation challenging the boundaries of art, science, and architecture.
Opening Date
August 11, 2025
Venue
College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University, Shanghai
Overview
Plan Your Visit
We proudly unveil Emotive Transformation "曲折" — Suffused Blossom #8, a full-scale, 3D-printed spatial installation fusing neuroaesthetics with architectural innovation. Designed as a direct emotional stimulus for groundbreaking research, this collaborative creation by neuroaesthetics researchers and architects marks a pivotal advance: it is the first purpose-built physical environment for a neuroaesthetics experiment, where architectural space itself triggers emotional and physiological responses to explore the interplay between spatial forms and human experience.
This experiment pioneers a design-integrated research paradigm for neuroarchitecture, treating architectural form not merely as an object of evaluation but as a structured generator of perceptual and behavioral data. Unlike isolating variables for hypothesis-driven analysis, the framework embeds experimentation within architectural design workflows, enabling iterative testing across representational and immersive formats. It supports distributed, practice-based inquiry, scales to real-world projects, and facilitates the emergence of perceptual patterns through collective investigation—thereby empowering the architectural field to leverage AI for truly evidence-based design. By aligning scientific rigor with architectural complexity, this approach fosters interdisciplinary collaboration focused on measuring spatial experiences and shaping the environments in which they unfold.
