dc.description.abstractThis thesis is an investigation into the impact of design elements on human behavior as explored through the design of a library. A library was chosen for its role in the community and because of the diverse group of users a library affects. A library, defined as a collection of things, is also a metaphor for the role memory plays in determining the emotive response a person has to their surroundings. Memory acts as collection of internal associations and, when engaged through sensory experience, memory dictates an emotional reaction to a space based on previous experiences. This project is a discovery of how to engage the senses and the memory in order to evoke an emotive response.en
