Abstract

Biogeometry is the patented science of using the energy of shapes and forms to qualitatively make a balance between the biological energy systems and accommodate their interactions with the environment. Balancing the activities of daily life, attaining harmony with our environment, humanizing modern technology, and incorporating science and spirituality are the work of the science of biogeometry. The research in biogeometry was and still is mainly dedicated to the development of a new form of architecture that would improve the human biological system. In this context, the current study aims to develop a scientific approach to investigate the influence of the geometric forms and construction materials of the architectural spaces on the users’ brainwaves and then on their consciousness status which is considered as the main controlling factor in human bioenergy. Trying to consolidating the theoretical views of this effect to be measurable scientifically, the study is based on using a numerical analysis based on a computerized simulation. The results of this study show different influences based on geometric forms and construction materials. The study is carried out using CST Microwave Studio to identify the resonance frequency occurred inside different geometric forms with different construction materials, and then distinguish the related user’s brainwaves which influence his/her consciousness status. This may assist architects and designers in identifying appropriate geometric forms to suit the required uses and functions that need particular consciousness statuses.
