Abstract

The biological effects of architectural spaces are one of the methods used to discover the link between architectural spaces and health state of its users.  Architectural history shows some models supports the existence of biological effects of architectural space, such as the Great Pyramid. This architectural model has been  studied  in a  scientific  manner  and  his  biological effect has  been  proven  in  many scientific research.
In this research, angles of the pyramid have been tested as one of the components of formality. Designed modules are configured from the four angles of the pyramid; these modules derived four simple forms reflect the pyramid's angles to be the basis of shapes represents a microcosm of the architectural space. Square shape was selected as the base of the fifth, control model to reflect the traditional module in architecture
     The simple biological systems, like bacteria, used to examine the hypothesis in researches relates to biological  effects, then  the  complexity of  systems  more  and  more  similar  to  the configuration  of human. In this research, tested models in this research have been tested for E-coli bacteria.
     The result of the experiment confirmed that the spaces represent the pyramid angles are discouraging the growth of bacteria, as is the case in the pyramid itself. This result sets new rules for architectural spaces composition, and set bases for an extensive research project study the impact of the formation of spaces to human health.
