Abstract
In architecture, constitutions of space are subjected to the structural material and interior finishingmaterial. Interior environment can exert a great effect on people by means of space constitution. In thisstudy the constitution of space was set to consider five materials: control, wood, steel, wire mesh, andconcrete structural material.In this study, experiments with mice, were carried out on condition of each living environment withdifferent living environment using control, wood, steel, wire mesh and concrete structural material. Theexperiments with mice were made by five-month-old mice(BALB/C) with about 15 grams weight.In order to evaluate the adaptability of the target mice, such variables as body weight, food consumption,and water consumption were monitored against living environment for normal BALB/C mice during the sameperiod. The weight, total foods, and total water consumption were measured under the living environmentsfor 55 days with 2~3 days intervals. To test five different living environments, i.e., control, wood, steel, wiremesh and concrete, 5 mice were allocated for each group.According to the results of this study, the case of wood living environment resulted in a gain in weightwith statistical significance. The other side of steel, wire mesh and concrete showed a slight decrease forweight. The weight variation of the experimental mice was assumed under five different living environmentsthat resulted from the stabilized environmental conditions such as the wood living environment.
