摘要：In architectural design, window sizes are examined with respect to issues such as energy conservation and sustainability. In this study, unlike the current studies, the effect of different window sizes on the cognitive state of people was examined. Note that, using online eye tracking technique, 32 volunteers participated in the study. The volunteers who participated in the experiment tested three places modelled with differently sized windows using their own computers. After the study, a mini-questionnaire was administered and volunteers were asked in which place they would like to be. In this study, selections made by volunteers depended on the illumination level in the interior, which was brought about by the change in the window size. The window size used in a space can alter the focus of people, because of which the interactions of users with that space can change. Because of the results of this study, the cognitive state of users is recommended to be considered in the window design processes and be used as a supportive factor for improving user experience in environmental design.
