In this book, brain-grounded theory of temporal and spatial design
in architecture and the environment is discussed. The author
believes that it is a key to solving such global problems as
environmental disorders and severe climate change as well as
conflicts that are caused by the ill-conceived notion of “time is
money”. There are three phases or aspects of a person’s life: the
physical life, the spiritual or mental life, and the third stage of
life, when a person moves from middle age into old age and can
choose what he or she wishes to do instead of simply what must be
done. This book describes the temporal design of the environment
based on the theory of subjective preference, which could make it
possible for an individual to realize a healthy life in all three
phases. In his previously published work, the present author wrote
that the theory of subjective preference has been established for
the sound and visual fields based on neural evidence, and that
subjective preference is an overall response of cooperating
temporal and spatial factors, associated with the brain’s left and
right hemispheres, respectively. In this book, based on that
theory, some examples are shown for the temporal design of
architecture and the environment, which may play important roles in
the development of personality, thus inducing creativity. Also
discussed is how all individuals may find their own personality and
develop it according to the preferred direction of their individual
lives.
