<br/><br/> The study explores the relationship between the people and architectural spaces they inhabit. First, the relation between human senses and architecture was explored, since the senses are the tools that connect people to the external environment. The study was then enriched by studying the influence of human mind and emotions on experiencing architecture, as peoples impression are not limited to sensations. An applied research was conducted in coffee shops in Cairo which acted as architectural spaces where human behavior and impressions about architectural atmosphere could be studied with the objective of assessing the impact of architectural attributes on the sense of atmosphere of the space.
