Abstract

The current research tries to explore the bases of establishing "The excitement phenomena" through 'Olor scheme articulations. Basically, the phenomena is influenced, presumably by structural and meaningful principles of articulations in the interior spaces. To tackle the research problem, three proposed models for esthetical interior spaces were chosen a a research settings. Also, virtual color articulation patterns were established, to select the most satisfactory, to achieve excitement Quasi- experimental method was adopted, depending on, gestalt theory of perception, analytical-descriptive st dy method, and a questioner as a method of testing. Fifty types of color articulations for each of 3 models, divided into five stages including specific color schemes. The independent variable covers four secondary variables; elements of color articulations, for color articulation for space element, mechanism of color articulation, color articulation mechanism space elements.
