By looking at the graphic representation above it is clear that you cannot separate who you are from your environment. The lines, if there are any, blur when it comes to the mind, body, environment connection. Dr. Chapin used the example of when a child draws a picture of a house most of the time they draw windows as eyes and the door as a nose.
A theory that ties mind, body and environment is that of Body Image Theory. This is the concept that there is a connection between all experience and that they are dependent on the three dimensional body and our physical environment. It can lead us to a better understanding or our surroundings and how they impact our behavior.
Therefore, as designers, we must be aware and conscious of this connection n ad design spaces that incorporate this connection.
