364: Visualizing Emotions In Virtual Architecture: A Case Study On Student Sentiments In Higher Education

The objective of this project is to develop a virtual environment capable of translating, through dynamic visual forms, the feelings of the student community, offering a sensitive and immediate perception of their emotional state regarding the university experience. The method adopted consisted of a case study based on a theoretical review of digital architecture and university mental health, combined with the practical development of a responsive virtual environment. The project was based on the translation of affective states into digital visual language—using colors, shapes, and dynamics—to represent emotions and create interactive and responsive spaces. The proposal successfully reflected, in a symbolic and immersive way, feelings of anxiety, joy, sadness, and calm dynamically in real time.
