The Architecture of Happiness

To each their own. This saying is true when it comes to what the architecture of happiness truly is. Different things make different people happy according to their life experiences. I think instead of a "set" of rules for architecture and design it's more or less a set of guidelines. These things guide you in the right direction, to obtaining a happy space or place.


A happy place
Starbucks located in the EUC
The smells coming from inside, the store bursting at the seems. the warm laughter that can be heard from inside. The rituals that occur in that place, make it "happy." Knowing what to expect when walking in.


A happy space
the sanctuary downstairs of the EUC
The spaces downstairs uses repetition within the space to create peace, balance and unity.
