| Summary: | Architecture persistently evolved from the need for shelter and living spaces. Subsequently, this is prominent and reinforced through the knowledge over some time through oral traditions and practices that are time tested and improvised to develop a unique expression termed Vernacular architecture. It is evident from the existing literature that the built environment as a subsystem has the potential to influence and direct behavior among the occupants of the settings. This paper attempts to determine the spatial feature of the vernacular setting in the selected context which has a certain identity and has the potential in inducing specific positive Affect like enthusiasm among the occupants. In pursuit of this, the physical setting feature of the vernacular house Thinnai is studied for its identity of the house in context and its impact in inducing the experience of positive affect enthusiastic effect through a set of data collected by questionnaire survey and semi-structured interview method. The result of the analysis indicates that Physical setting features induce affect when people habituate to the vernacular settings that stand for their identity daily and it confirms the hypothesis that a physical setting has a significant role in inducing Positive affective among the occupants of the vernacular settings. |
