dc.description.abstractNo one needs to lose in order for someone else to win. The increasing number of mediation centers throughout the world shows the desire of conflicting parties to find some type of resolution where both may be satisfied. While most centers present the process and rules for mediation, few centers emphasize the environment in which the negotiation is conducted. Retrofitted office buildings, resorts, and agreed ‘neutral’ sites are common destinations to conduct mediation services. How can Architecture influence private contemplation and public negotiation? This thesis attempts to investigate the effect of our built environment on how individuals work together. To explore this question, a conflict resolution center becomes the vehicle to study the physical, social, and intellectual impact on thinking and decision-making.en
