Case studies of interior spaces that brings up questions as how the designers reached particular qualities of space; and what are the basic constituents of particular affective experiences; are introduced. The paper concludes by proposing possible bases for further investigating of standardized procedures during the design process for interiors; in attempt to answer the questions of affective emotions from architectural spaces and elements to humans. The proposals have bases on various scientific researches on human sensors and other revisions, which I reviewed, partly conducted and elaborated. Further experiments of design with specific space configuration by certain architectural elements that aim to transmit explicit emotions, are estimated as an interior project is supplemented to support the proposals.

A reflection on urban design and architectural structures followed by corresponding the policy makers' political agendas and its effects on citizens living in the divided areas. While using as case studies countries with ongoing modern conflicts with ethnically divided cities, a scientific based insight on how architecture and built space reflects and relates to the policies of division, is given. The built environment and its design during the social group's clashes can affect the standpoints of the conflicts by the social groups themselves, consequently aiding the divisions unconsciously as well. In spite of the rarity of general recognition for such paradigms and claims, the importance of using the physical built environment by different policies remains significant. The aims of igniting and affecting social group's separations through such as implementations remain an important aspect of modern politics of violence, in western democratic countries also. A further look at the paper regards the city of Nicosia and the divided Cyprus, through its architectural and urban reflection. The paper argues for the need of a widespread, conclusive awareness of such issues and policies, and finds that for achieving a systematic change for peacebuilding among divided societies, it merits to have further investigation using social architecture as an instrument. The purpose of this paper is to give explicit insight into architectural perspective and how it is effected by the politics of division. The paper is written in two main parts. The first part conducted by Endrit Kadriu explores the politics of particularly ethnic division and its reflection on urban and architectural design. Examples from several countries with a key focus on Balkans conflict are mentioned.
