Abstract

Effects of water in the space is the subject of study in many scientific fields. The research question is that whether the water features are included in the studies carried out the intersection of affect and architecture. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the literature regarding the concepts of affect-architecture-water and to determine the concepts in current research areas and the primary authors. The scope of this study consists of documents in Scopus database. The keywords “Affect, Affective, Architecture, Water” were selected for the systematically analysed scan made in Scopus database. Scanning was done by creating three different combinations with the selected keywords. First combination is “Affect” and “Architecture; Second combination is “Affective” and “Architecture”; Third combination is “Affect”, “Architecture” and “Water”. After collecting the bibliometric data of a total of 1557 documents according to three different combinations from the database on November 21, 2022, the downloaded data files were transferred to the VOSviewer (1.6.18.0) software. Bibliometric analysis with science mapping techniques was applied to the dataset by the VOSviewer. Firstly, Scopus analysis search results were examined. Secondly, Visuals were created by science mapping techniques. As a result, nine concepts and 26 authors were determined. The concepts for the gaps are “Architecture, Affect, Atmosphere, Perception, Space, Sensory Experience, Architectural Design, Built Environment, Emotion”. The authors are “Deleuze, Guattari, Davidson, Anderson, Barrett, Damasio, Kraftl, Lyubomirsky, Manzo, Massumi, P. L. Russell, Wigley, Scherer, J. A. Russell, Böhme, Abusaada, Matteis, Bachelard, Merleau-Ponty, Pallasmaa, Plutchik, Watson, Zumthor, Lefebvre, Sørensen, Ebbensgaard”.
