Psychology In Architecture

Midnight_ARCH

so, this is my first time posting any sort of forum to...well, anything. But, I do need a little help in some research.

I'm trying to get a bigger grasp on the study of Psychology in Architecture, and Architectural Design for a class. I've been looking thoroughly at the works of Louis Kahn for his Light And Silence, reading speeches, lectures, and what not...but I don't feel that that's enough... is there any other Architects, studies, or any anything that I should look at?

 

I do appreciate your help!

You can study Sense and Perception. I haven't read this book, but here is a textbook for what I mean. http://www.amazon.com/Sensation-Perception-CourseMate-Printed-Access/dp/1133958494/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1403708013&sr=1-4&keywords=sense+and+perception

If your looking for something similar to Khans' Light and Silence, check out Peter Zumthors' Thinking Architecture.

a great book to have on your shelf as well...
