Answer 1

It's all an ocean of energy with harmonies and discordances occurring in the ripples of interference waves. That is scientific fact. Everything that you are and everything you think or imagine is a part of that ocean of intermingling energy. How we perceive "beauty" is a function of mingling of the energy we are emitting at any one moment and the energy ripples of whatever we are focused on, for example a rose, and all the ambient ripples of energy in our proximate environment. Actually, everything everywhere is connected and ultimately even the light from distance galaxies effects us. Read "Cosmic Ecology" sometime. Fascinating. Ancient peoples comprehended these "functions" better than we seem to do today. Not the Earth Muffin trendy "Phen Shui" of today, but the ancient science of it was not subjective. It was objective. That means, the notion that, for example, a heavy overhead wooden house beam could cause bowel problems, is universal and occurs more often than not, or, that plumbing on the other side of a wall from the head of a bed can cause bad dreams is very verifiable. Ancient Phen Shui is the science of how everything all around us, our "milieu", affects us in one way or another. We know a little today about how colors can affect us. Pink, for example, is used to calm people, blues cheer us up. Our thoughts, too, emit measurably varied frequencies of electromagnetic energy which mix with the milieu around us, and, in effect, the milieu partly shapes our conceptualizations and creations. Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War examined most successfully how the "place" affects a soldier's healing time. It was critical in that war effort to heal the wounded and get them back to battle as soon as possible. The notion that having a peaceful environment or place would be conducive to faster healing was very novel, indeed.

It really depends on whether or not you can distance yourself mentally from your environment. If you can shut out all distractions and you have a good sense of creativity, it should function no matter where you are, in a very good manner.
My three girls used to tell me "I'm bored" until I told them that they were stupid then. They protested and said they were not stupid. I told them that only stupid people get bored, since your mind can work in the most wonderful ways, independent of where you find yourself physically.

Look at Jacob Trachtenberg. Came up with the most ingeneous way of doing complex math in the last 100 years. All the while a guest of the Nazi empire in a concentration camp while suffering from extreme conditions.

Does hardship focus your mind, or does ease of living focus your mind? Do visual or auditory inputs distrupt you, or put you at ease? Each person is different.

Consider the Beats: Ginsberg, Burroughs, etc.
Also, British Romantic Writers: Shelley, Coleridge, Wordsworth, etc.
American Transcendentalists: Emerson, Thoreau, etc.

I'm not sure place is as important as the company one keeps. All of these individuals were close friends and associates. They tended to gravitate toward each and even write in the same location.

Place as in Environment: Many writers feel that nature has a direct impact. Many writing conferences or workshops are held in remote locations to afford more privacy and quiet for a writer to work.

Answer 4

Take a look at Mihaly Csikszentmihaly's Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention, pp. 139-143, about creating creative environments.

Answer 5

Easy... Compare it to everything else just as if your stuck next to a person who is annoying won't you go a little more crazy just as well if you are in a comfortable environment shouldn't you be okay but just as if your in a subway your mostly likely not wanting to be creative just wanting to get out of there right!

My surroundings affect me everyday if I am outside iam happy if iam in dimmed lights maybe i want something special and my feelings are just everywhere. If iam in my room and listening to music then that's when i feel more creative and when i right my best pieces you know. How i act and write just depends where i am. this is true
