Abstract
The mere sight of architecture can create a behavioral response, so through research, this thesis seeks to develop a better understanding of architecture’s impact on health and wellness. Architecture can create sensory responses with color, odor, illumination, vibration, etc. This Lifestyle Center doesn’t just provide a program to promote healthy behavior, but its architecture influences healthy decisions.
