How can interior architecture helps or influence those who suffer or chance to be an hoarder treat the syndrome ? 
Relevant answer
Answer
First, let’s start with two definitions from Wikipeida:
Hoarding is a general term for a behavior that leads people or animals to accumulate food or other items during periods of scarcity.
Compulsive hoarding, also known as hoarding disorder, is a pattern of behavior that is characterized by excessive acquisition and an inability or unwillingness to discard large quantities of objects that cover the living areas of the home and cause significant distress or impairment. Compulsive hoarding behavior has been associated with health risks, impaired functioning, economic burden, and adverse effects on friends and family members. When clinically significant enough to impair functioning, hoarding can prevent typical uses of space, enough so that it can limit activities such as cooking, cleaning, moving through the house, and sleeping. It can also put the individual and others at risk of fires, falling, poor sanitation, and other health concerns. Compulsive hoarders may be aware of their irrational behavior, but the emotional attachment to the hoarded objects far exceeds the motive to discard the items.
Hoarding may be a rational response to a real economic situation.  Compulsive hoarding is a psychiatric disorder.  Rational hoarding can be accommodated with a limited amount of secure and well organized storage space.  Hoarding disorder cannot be solved by providing more storage space or better organized space.  Providing more space will only aggravate the problem. Compulsive hoarding is a psychiatric disorder that requires psychiatric intervention.

Are there specific elements throughout all design styles that are able to create the innate sense of comfort we associate with the Home? In the world of change where most people move multiple times, can a set of design principles be developed to ensure dwellings become 'home' and not simply a house for multiple residents? Does the dependence on perfect order and geometry create more homely spaces?
I am undertaking my thesis on a topic in this area so any knowledge or resources you may know would be incredibly helpful.  
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello Bryce,
Are you really aiming to quantify or come up with a set of design principles that induce 'Home' feelings or exploring how much different design styles impact these feelings? There are any number of routes you can take. Maybe you should explore those some more. 
I am in the fag end of my architectural PhD on "Spatiality of Feeling at Home" in a domestic context. I too had ideas similar to yours when I started off my work. The route I took was phenomenological, in addition to spatial/architectural analysis to come up with spatial elements and relationships which are seen to typify the experience of 'feeling at home' within the cases I studied. So I may be forgiven for thinking that your topic is more suited for a qualitative approach.
This book may give you some ideas for quantification though. Designing Better Buildings: Quality and Value in the Built Environment By Sebastian Macmillan
All the best.

Colour is believed to be a fundamental element of environmental design, especially in healthcare spaces as it is linked to psychological, physiological, and social reactions of human beings, as well as aesthetic and technical aspects of human-made environments. Choosing a color palette for a specific setting may depend on several factors including geographical location, characteristics of potential users (dominant culture, age, etc.), type of activities that may be performed in this particular environment in specific wards/hospitals in hospitals according to each function (paediatric wards/ cancer hospitals etc) , the nature and character of the light sources, and the size and shape of the space (Ruth et al., 2004).
Relevant answer
Answer
We see the world around us through colors. Whenever there is light there is color, and therefore we see the surfaces that (in)form visual space perception. More than 85% or 90% of all information that arrives to our brain from the exterior comes from the sense of sight. So, light and color are, together, the main keys for our communication with the world, and the way the world communicate with us. 
I do not agree with some color palettes that are being used, leading to the 70´s and 80's approach of having a color for each floor, etc. Color should respond to functional an aesthetic issues, promoting at same time comfort for the patients and adequate professional care. If we have the same concerns in two or more floors we should address them in the same way. A waiting area should be designed in a balanced harmony between hot and cold colors, nor having to be blue just because you are in the "blue" floor!

Atriums are considered the heart of public buildings (hospitals/ shopping centres/ educational centres/ office buildings etc.). Not only the main spaces where social activities happen, people gather/socialise but also connect to the nature (sun/ green spaces) to meliorate the indoor environment/ levels of comfort of the buildings. We assess how the atrium by providing important, but difficult-to-measure functions such as comfort, socialisation, interface, way finding, contact with nature (for instance: the natural lighting performance of roof skylight systems in buildings with atriums) and diurnal rhythms (Adams et al., 2009; Yildirim et al., 2012).

Answer
The answers by Tim and Evert are right. You know that Richard Meier was believed to be the first person in the modern era who brought this concept to the architectural design. He mainly aimed for having day light while providing a vertical open space providing access within a building which gives you views to the interior space. Maybe not a bad idea to have a look at his designs in his books and projects.

The ideal noise absorber material is the high strength, fire resistant, water proof and economical 
Relevant answer
Answer
  • There is a wide range of materials available for acoustic management of buildings and structures - go check out some architectural acoustic companies for examples.  The 'best' materials are often semi-rigid foams, possibly with a high-inertia component to attenuate low frequencies. 'Soundproof' rooms use foam cones or pyramids, because the shape of the material also matters a great deal.  With specially-designed forms, sound can be trapped in a multiply-scattering crevice, greatly increasing the absorption and reducing reflection.  Note that for auditoriums, one does not want zero reflections.

In order to fully exploit the potential of existing knowledge plus supporting the generation of new knowledge, it is crucial to design spaces to foster innovation and knowledge generation processes. From an (interior) architectural point of view, these processes are influenced by social, organizational, emotional and technological factors which led to a holistic understanding of architecture.

OK. I have one from the left. It's a theoretical approach, so not empirically tested, but it has been discussed ad nauseum with co-authors, especially Bem Le Hunte. relates to the science I draw in in the Cureus 2013 article below. The idea is simple: there is little controversy that the DA neurons of the frontal cortex and ACC are heavily engaged in creative activity (Deitrich etal 2010). The evidence is that this area of the brain shuts down when situations tell people that they are in danger (Med Hyp 2012). On the other hand, when life's good, the area is open for play (LeHunte & Golembiewski 2014). But that's not enough. Challenges and surprises - especially happy or interesting ones trigger the use of this lobe (Med Hyp 2012). Therefore, spaces that surprise and stimulate will be beneficial. Spaces also carry pre-cognised emotional 'baggage (2013 IJDS), so spaces that we associate with creative bursts, are likely to reinspire the same. 
How's that?

The built environment is divisive. (Anthony 2001; Haviland et al. 2003; Laurie M. Anderson et al. 2003; Lillie-Blanton M et al. 2000; Weisman 1994). Physically walls divide people on the inside from those on the outside, so at least in a physical way, the concept is self explanatory. And this intrinsic feature of architecture is desirable in most circumstances unless the access is limited on the basis of socially unacceptable criteria such as sex, mobility, race or culture. And there are statutes to prevent the physical environment from causing discrimination for those people who are physically or mentally disabled such as the Australian Disability Discrimination Act. (1992; Goggin and Newell 2004) Discrimination on the basis of cultural or racial difference is also illegal by means of the Racial Discrimination Act (1975) and the Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Act (1986), discrimination on the basis of gender is also unlawful by means of the Sex discrimination Act (1984). Despite all these statutes, discriminatory elements of the built environment still exist (Weisman 1994), and are even written into rigid design codes which form the basis for public health facility designs.
It is incumbent on all facility designers to do our best to design to embrace cultural diversity, especially in hospitals, where there is so much vulnerability. But where guidelines are insufficient, clients often respond if architects can show it's possible: so does anyone have any good case studies? Are there any great examples?

I will still look it up - your explaination is truly interesting. Being primariiy concerned by the physical aspects of perception, I know I often miss the acoustic and written aspects, even as I write about these.
Of particular interest is how multicultural competency isn't necessarily charged with equality. I speak another language better than fluently - Niugini Pisin, the main language of PNG, even my accent is perfect, but there's one thing that remains odd: it's called 'nek' in pisin - and translates roughly as cadence. I've noticed that when I speak, children in particular find this fascinating - although it's ignored by adults. I can only barely hear it myself.
What I find interesting is that the language has a range of nuances attached to it. If you are visibly from PNG (I'm confusingly not), it's better to speak English in a professional context, but if you look foreign, as I do, speaking Niugini Pisin polarises the audience according to how well you speak. If you are less than fluent, it can create friction, especially if you use common foreigner's mistakes. But if you pick up on the nuances of the language - the fun of the language, the opposite happens. Your speaking Pisin is invariably taken well, and fictional kinships from around the bond this creates. The result is that I'm mostly taken for a half-caste (half/half's are very well-respected in PNG, by the way), but there's nothing about my appearance that could possibly suggest such a thing. Curious. I guess you know much more about those kinds of dynamics than I do.
Thanks for the clarification. Again it really helps.

In current interior design practice several aspects of decision making are brought to the design process in relation to the importance of the variables to be dealt with. The more common are the branding, the design, the financial, the human factors, the functionality of both space and cognition, sustainability, the innovation or novelty, the commercial potential and the commercial success, the working conditions for the employees, the store layout, the technological infrastructure, the logistics of merchandise display and storage, the safety of both clients and staff, the experience offered, the support on the election of the right product. And all must be met during the design decision process.
