Abstract :In architecture, buildings were looked at as machines that are purely programmed by humans but do not evolve and develop by themselves. Herein, the concept of living architecture, where buildings can have souls and grow with their inhabitants, has been introduced. This paper discusses how buildings can have empathy for their users, support their mental status, enhance their energy, help them increase the level of their task performance, and optimize living, working, and sleeping spaces based on assessing and understanding the preference and mood of the users rather than the preference and the experience of the designer. After reviewing major topics in architecture, technology, and psychology, this manuscript suggests pillars of the soul-full buildings where an architect can put the structure frame in which a building behavior happens and evolves within but does not decide about the precise behavior of the building. The difference between the purity of essence and the purity of form in architecture was clarified. Purity of essence in architecture means creating a building with what can be described as a functional soul insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(can engage with the user in intelligent conversation);, while the purity of form is a soulless doll-like building insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(stunning looks but eventually obsolete);.
