quantified in generic dimensions, additionally an experimental method is required that provides for reproducible and valid empirical data. Here in particular caveats and chances when using virtual reality (VR) technology for architectural simulation are discussed. The following chapter reviews the current state of theories and research on affective responses to architecture. Subsequently, four empirical studies are presented that test the previously conceptualized methodological framework and explore emotional influences of various basic architectural design aspects. Three alternative approaches for the quantitative description of architecture are developed, either based on image processing, lists of architectural elements, or Space Syntax methods. Finally, the issue of potential interactions between different design aspects is discussed and empirically tested, leading to a plausible framework model for the integration of individual factors. Taken together, a viable approach to the experience of architectural space is outlined promising novel insights into the emotional meaning of architecture.
