Flow architecture for sustainable homes, office buildings, community centers and museums: In memory of Professor Mihály Csikszentmihalyi and poet Géza Szőcs

Abstract

This trend research article accounts on a unique interdisciplinary collaboration of two highly creative personalities: psychologist Mihály Csikszentmihályi, Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Management at Claremont Graduate University and poet Géza Szőcs, President of the Hungarian Pen Club. Guidelines of Flow architecture were set: a new building should create dynamic spaces, sustain departure and return, bridge timeframes, create balance between lights and colors, and contain elements that surprise people.
