Ambience: built environment and behavior

The ambience is an extremely relevant issue considering the need for further exploration to extrinsic human aspects and how they influence in its aging, so that the best conditions of environment generate more quality in the meeting among people. Understanding their influence on social relations enables the characterization and recognition of elements that act as strong adjuvants to subjective wellness of individuals participating in any space, whether public or private, with activity or gathering. This article results from a literature review based on theoretical research seeking to combine issues such as the composition of the built space, object of architecture, and its impact on human behavior typically seen in isolation. This reflection is based on field research now under way and enabled the generation of tools for data collection used in interviews and participant observation.
