Abstract: Architecture, together with urban design, represents a system of interconnected factors that shape its form, determine materials, the design of functional arrangement and spatial relations both in micro and macro scale.Users are affected by stressors generated by built environment as well as by urban design.Both exert a significant impact on health and well being.Inadequate spatial relations and low quality of built environment may trigger numerous stressors and reflect in users' health, both in their somatic conditions as well as mental health problems.
