Abstract—Membrane structures of architecture that provide a naturally bright light space are increasingly used for various facilities. In this study, we investigated the physiological and mental effects of membrane-structured architectural spaces by comparing them to conventional architectural spaces with a crossover study design. We observed that a membrane-structured warehouse reduces alertness, improves continuous performance, and causes positive subjective feelings, although there was no significant effect on operational accuracy, autonomic function, or sleep quality of the day.
