Abstract

Resilience is a multidimensional concept which is related to a person^s or a system^s ability to rebound to its initial configuration or condition as a counteraction to adversity or disruption, in which resilience is seen from an intangible perspective. Furthermore, resilience as a response to disruption is influenced by protective factors to overcome risk factors. Spatial disaster, such as earthquake, may cause disruption in spatial context due to the minimum until enormous changes might happen prior to the occurrence. Resilience become important for individual to cope both during and after it is happened. This article is structuring the theoretical framework of individual resilience, to visualize how each factor influences each other^s. A comprehensive literature review of resilience from multidiscipline studies, such as psychology, health, environmental, behaviour, disaster management, and architecture, was conducted. The theoretical framework in the article explained how each variable interacts with others to promote individual resilience as a results after experiencing spatial transformations. Thus, amidst this spatial disruption, neuroarchitecture, a new approach in the field of architecture where elements within the human brain are influenced by spatial design, becomes an approach that can be explored. How spatial disruption that impacts a person^s emotional disruption can become resilient with a spatial design approach and how spatial design can enable a person to survive trauma and/or become stronger.
