Summary
This study explores how architecture affects our emotions by measuring chemicals in saliva, like cortisol and oxytocin. Researchers will collect saliva from 60 adults before and after they interact with a building. The goal is to see if these biomarkers change with positive or negative feelings, helping to design spaces that boost well-being.
