In rethinking and formulating the design or redesigning the isolation room or schizophrenia patient's bedroom in in the details of the spatial elements in this research will focus on the shape and color of the cell wall elements or the bedroom of schizophrenic patients. Further research of the meaning of space for humans and to recommend specific design of the space is expected to help minimize the negative behavior of schizophrenic patients condition. This research will identify whatever the effect and the trigger on how the wall element in terms of shape and color can intervene to the behavior of schizophrenic patients. Architecture and human behavior are for humanity. By using descriptive qualitative research methods based on behavioral research in an architectural perspective, direct observation, in-depth interviews untill interviews with psychiatrists and also discussing these results with the theory that became the objective background for the assessment of spatial parameters. Emphasizes on the simple architectural products to be tested directly with a scale of 1: 1 using architectural fabrication techniques, redesigning of the isolation room of catatonic paranoid schizophrenia patients after a partial remission stage which led to the formulation of a new design of simple architectural products of this research will be one of the beginning for the development on the multidisciplinary science for the advancement of human science in the future. The analysis of the spatial behavior of the patient will be mapped and taken into absolute consideration for designing architectural wall products for schizophrenic patients with the age over 15 years.
