Summary

This paper explores the role of circadian rhythms in creating efficient, healthy, and high-quality working environments, linking architecture, biology, and psychology. The aim is to incorporate circadian knowledge into design so that architects and designers can actively contribute to improving human experience and well-being. Despite the importance of circadian rhythms, their systematic application in architectural design remains limited, making it necessary to develop practical guidelines.The methodology follows an interdisciplinary approach, studying the circadian rhythm as a biological mechanism regulated mainly by light, while at the same time highlighting the designer as the critical link between the fields of biology and architecture, emphasizing the need for the designer to have a deep understanding of both fields in order to effectively incorporate this knowledge into the design of spaces.Particular emphasis is placed on data-driven design, using digital simulations to translate measurable parameters into qualitative characteristics of space. The results are summarized in a structured table, providing a practical reference tool for researchers and professionals, supporting the adoption of a more conscious and human-centered design approach.
