EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AS A TOOL FOR EVALUATION AND MEASUREMENT IN INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE

The positive relationship between the individual and the environment depends on several elements of design thinking capable of shaping the lives of people; as good design meets various aspects of users' needs and must take into account not only the physical, social and cognitive aspects, but also the emotional needs of the user within the environmental context. Design is like a piece of music where the architect is the master, and the design thinking is the essence of any design and this enters into the principles, values, perception, and emotions of the designer himself, and another very important part of design thinking is understanding people, which is reflected in the designer's ability to design a space that takes into account the physical and emotional needs of users, as human behavior is linked to emotion or human feeling. The research is concerned with the study of interior design that depends on using the theory of emotional intelligence in the so-called consciously intelligent interior design through sense design, which seeks in this type of design to define the perceptual relationships between the human and the designed element and to explore the positive emotional characteristics that the designed elements can transmit through their formal features, that these emotional designs aim to achieve the maximum amount of physiological and psychological happiness that people can get through their senses.
