 2009 experiment, published in Science. The psychologists, at the University of British Columbia:
" it has found that rooms with lofty ceilings also lead people to engage in more abstract styles of thinking. Instead of focusing on the particulars of things, they’re better able to zoom out and see what those things have in common.  (It’s the difference between “item-specific” versus “relational” processing.)"
"The colour blue, however, carried a completely different set of psychological benefits.  people in the blue group, they did far better on those requiring some imagination, such as coming up with creative uses for a brick or designing a children’s toy out of simple geometric shapes.  In fact, subjects in the blue condition generated twice as many “creative outputs” as subjects in the red condition. That’s right: the colour of a wall doubled our imaginative power."

Zigzag
The Zigzag is a symbol of creativity. The Zigzag focuses on imagery. The right-brain thinking zigzag is not fixated on the details, which simplifies the way he views the world, this allows him to construct a holistic and harmonious conceptual view of the world, to see its intrinsic beauty.  The main purpose of the zigzag is the generation of new ideas and methods.
